The International Dance Festival New Orleans (IDFNOLA) brings the world to the Gulf South, pairing the city’s rhythm and creativity with bold voices from across the globe. Equal parts performance, film, and conversation, the festival transforms New Orleans into a gathering place for artists who build connection, exchange ideas, and move through the world with purpose.

JDT’s performance will feature excerpts from Tribes: A Dance in Light and Shadow, a contemporary dance work inspired by The Twelve Tribes of Israel Windows by Marc Chagall, exploring identity, heritage, and resilience through movement, light, and visual storytelling. See the evening-length world premiere in Jacksonville in March of 2027.
