Past Works
D’Vorah Dance Arts approaches the creation of new works by responding to moments of inspiration. This inspiration may arise from an idea, topic, or feeling that calls for deeper exploration. The company values the creative process, treating it as an essential period that deserves careful attention and dedication.
The development of a new dance piece starts with fully nurturing a concept. This involves dedicating significant time to explore movement ideas, craft original choreography, and connect the themes of the work to the broader community. Each step in this process is honored to ensure the final piece is thoughtfully staged and presented.
Since its inception, D’Vorah Dance Arts has presented a variety of works. Below is a list of these pieces, showcasing the company's commitment to artistic exploration and community engagement.

The Day You Painted The Stars
Premiered November 2024
A journey of navigating through grief, finding yourself again in a new form, honoring lessons taught, and how your world shifts from those who have passed. How “the day a loved one paints the stars,” you become different.
Shadow Seeker
Premiered November 2023
This work explores the boundary between reality and illusion, inviting the audience to journey alongside into a dreamlike landscape. Through evocative movement and shifting shadows, the piece delves into the complexities of self-discovery, prompting viewers to question what is real and what is imagined. Confronting fragments of identities, creating an atmosphere where the search for authenticity becomes both personal and universal.
Tzipora
Premiered 2015
Re-stage in 2026
Created as a study of my cultural roots, this work seeks deep familiarity with the forces that have quietly shaped me, honoring the sacrifices and journeys of my ancestors, grandparents, and parents, and the ways they continue to inform who I am becoming.
Have a Seat
Premiered 2026
This work began with the creation of five solos, each centered on a different woman and the complexities of a particular stage of life. Together, these stories journey through experiences both personal and universal: feeling like a wizard capable of making the impossible possible; feeling trapped by forces beyond our control despite our efforts to resist them; surviving life's challenges and emerging as though we've traveled to the farthest reaches of the universe; recognizing the need to lean into community for guidance and wisdom; navigating friendship while calling upon our ancestors for strength and direction; and ultimately arriving in a kind of utopian landscape, where the world continues to spin around us, yet we discover how to embrace the chaos, find joy, and savor the ride.
