On The Bimah: Connecting and Rebelling - Season 3, Episode 4 with Dorit Nowparvar and Matthew Nouriel

On The Bimah: Spotlighting Jewish Theatre Artists

Our podcast has a new name! The podcast formerly known as Theatre Schmooze is now called "On the Bimah: Spotlighting Jewish Theatre Artists". We're excited to have you here!

For "Connecting and Rebelling" (Season 3, Episode 4), which dropped today, Tuesday, March 14, we called to the Bimah two special guests: author, poet, Persian, Jewish mother, and empowered woman Dorit Nowparvar, and, speaker, advocate, writer, actor, and community engagement director at JIMENA Matthew Nouriel, AKA Empress Mizrahi, who are both based in Los Angeles, California. Tune in as Dorit, Matthew, and Danielle discuss their co-creation "The Dragonfly", the Iranian revolution, drag artistry, digital activism, relationships and perspectives on Jewish identity, and what Jewish stories should be explored today.

On the Bimah: Spotlighting Jewish Theatre Artists is a monthly podcast from Alliance for Jewish Theatre where we chat with Jewish theatre makers from around the world about their art, Judaism, and vision for theater’s future.

Hosted by Danielle Levsky (AJT Board Member, clown, writer, instructor, producer, and theatre journalist), On the Bimah feature one-on-one conversations with artists that will illuminate the heart, soul, and diversity of contemporary Jewish theatre.
