Shany Dagan
Choreographer - Dancer - Artistic Director
A UNIQUE FUSION OF DANCE AND STORYTELLING
Directed and choreographed by a woman, for ALL humans.
NEW: BETWEEN THE GAP (MOGAD)
A new solo, choreographed and performed by Shany Dagan. Music: The Heartstrings Project.
This solo explores the moment when everything suddenly changes. The piece lives in the gap between information and emotion, between what is being said and what is being felt.
WHO WE ARE
Dagan Movement is a project-based New York dance company, founded and led by choreographer Shany Dagan, creating since 2023. The work blends contemporary dance, jazz and theatrical storytelling. Every piece starts with a story, and the movement is how we tell it. We love working with other artists: poets, composers, musicians. Dagan Movement is fiscally sponsored by Jewish Creativity International (JCI).
3RD GEN PROJECT
An evening-length dance memoir built from Shany's grandparents' Holocaust survival stories. From SPARK in 2023 to Off-Broadway at KnJ Theatre in 2024, now touring the East Coast.
