My name is Tzaphira (Allison) Stern
I'm a dance activist with an M.A. from the Jerusalem Dance Academy and a PhD student at the Hebrew University Cultural Studies Program.
My work and research explore the intersection of dance and activism. I'm passionate about using dance for social impact through dance classes, writing, and lectures.
In Jerusalem, I teach movement skills and dance improvisation to women over 60, fostering creativity and inclusivity among older women from diverse cultural backgrounds: secular, religious, and Palestinian.
My recent lecture, "How Does Dance Impact Social Change?" delves into the power of dance to address social and political issues. I explore how dance can foster agency, challenge norms, and inspire collective action.
