The Art of Movement: Ori Lenkinski’s Exploration of Dance, Birth, and Universal Human Connection


Listen Later

Ori Lenkinski is a dancer, choreographer, and journalist based in Tel Aviv. Her work in all its forms is devoted to exploring the connection between words and movement. She's worked with independent choreographers and companies in the U. S., Europe, and Israel. Her body of work includes The Painting, Portrait No.2, The Suit, Help Desk, Birth Preparation Course, as well as the dance films Carriage and Expecting

In today’s episode, Kaitlin and Ori discuss Ori's births and how she integrates the moving body—in all its beauty and potential— into not just her artwork, but also everyday moments with her children, family, and her wider community. This was a very vulnerable and touching conversation with someone whose work truly reaches across cultural, political, and religious lines to speak to universal human experiences.
