FJK Dance Season 2025
New York, NY – Fadi J. Khoury Dance proudly presents Season 2025, an extraordinary celebration of art and humanity, showcasing Khoury’s visionary choreography that bridges cultural divides and challenges societal norms. This season highlights three compelling works that exemplify Khoury’s commitment to peacebuilding and inclusivity.
Featured Works Include:
- The Dying Swan Reimagined: A bold reinterpretation of the classic solo through an Arabic lens, performed by Fadi J. Khoury and accompanied by Palestinian musician Zafer Tawil on Oud. This piece challenges gender stereotypes and cultural expectations.
- MOVE: A signature work blending contemporary ballet and ballroom movement with a Middle Eastern touch, enriched by Lebanese percussionist Gilbert Mansour’s dynamic rhythms.
- World Premiere of TO HEART: Inspired by Rumi’s timeless poetry, this multimedia production explores the journey to love and connection through contemporary dance, live music, calligraphy, live painting, video projection, and animation. Featuring collaborations with Zafer Tawil and American percussionist Mal Stein, TO HEART intertwines heart, soul, and body, illuminating the beauty of Middle Eastern culture.
A Season Rooted in Community and Healing, Fadi J. Khoury’s work extends beyond the stage, as he actively engages with the community through the FJK Dance Artist-in-Residence program at NYC Health & Hospitals // Kings County Brooklyn. Supported by the New York State Office of Mental Health, this initiative fosters healing through art, reflecting Khoury’s dedication to using dance as a tool for connection and cultural understanding.
