Summary:

Ze'eva Cohen: Creating A Life In Dance is a model of how an artist can survive in the dance world by carving out an independent path for herself. Primarily narrated by Cohen, the half hour documentary spans 70 years, encompassing her life as a young dancer in Israel, work in the U.S. as soloist with Anna Sokolow's Dance Company, pioneering 12 year solo repertory concerts, choreography for diverse dance companies, as well as work at Princeton University, where she founded and directed the dance program from 1969 to 2009. Following the documentary, this video includes the 28 minute Passing It On: Four Princeton Alumni Look Back - conversations with Jose Mateo '74 (Jose Mateo Dance Theatre), David Rousseve '81 (David Rousseve/REALITY), Jill Sigman '89 *98 (jill sigman/thinkdance), and Mariah Steele '06 (Quicksilver Dance), who reflect on Ze'eva's teaching and profound influence on them and their subsequent careers as dancers and choreographers. Performances include Negotiations (1996), If Eve Had A Daughter: Mother's Tongue/I Love You (1996), Ariadne (1985), Rainwood (1977), and Mothers of Israel (1975) - a few of the full length iconic representations of Ze'eva's 40-year career.
