Tools of the trade

DEBORAH FRIEDES
Dance Researcher
Tel Aviv, Israel
BIO | POSTS

Books, journals, DVDs, CDs from my time here in Tel Aviv.

More tools of the trade for a blogging/podcasting dance researcher: the technology bin, complete with camcorder, mini-DV tapes, digital voice recorder, computer software, battery charger, manuals, and way too many cords that look similar.

Publicity, programs, photocopies, oh my!

It’s that time - I’m packing up! At 5 a.m. on Tuesday morning, I leave Israel and head back to the U.S. after 10 months of research. I’ve accumulated quite a lot of materials in that time, and somehow I need to get them sorted into boxes and bags. Yikes. Here’s the good news, though: I’m not done here. I fell in love with Tel Aviv, the Israeli contemporary dance scene, and a great Israeli guy, so after a few months in the U.S., I’m moving back to Israel! And so the journey continues . . .

That’s wonderful, Deborah. Lots of luck on your journey.
I hope we can meet when you are back in Israel.
(BTW if you are making aliya, make sure you are on top of all the various benefits you are entitled to. Some of them are kind of quirky. The people at the Israeli consulate in NYC are a good resource and some of them are very helpful.)

What wonderful news! I hope this means that winger readers will continue to hear about your dance discoveries in Israel. Have a safe trip back tomorrow, and perhaps I’ll see you at Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company on Saturday.
