In this enlightening interview, I sit down with JoAnne Tucker, an incredible woman whose life has revolved around the transformative power of dance. JoAnne shares her journey, beginning with her early days dancing to her grandmother's piano tunes through her education at the prestigious Graham Studio and The Juilliard School and her creation of the Avodah Dance Ensemble.
She opens up about her experiences using dance as a method of empowerment and healing in women's correctional institutions and her transition into the world of filmmaking with her non-profit film company, Healing Voices – Personal Stories. One of their impactful works, "Through the Door: Movement and Meditation as Part of Healing," directly addresses domestic violence survivors.
JoAnne also discusses her book, "Torah in Motion: Creating Dance Midrash," and how dance can explore prayer and storytelling. Now based in Costa Rica, JoAnne continues her artistic journey, sharing her beautiful property with other artists and fostering the growing arts community in Atenas.
Join us as we delve into the inspiring world of JoAnne Tucker, a woman who truly believes in the power of dance to connect, heal, and inspire. Don't miss this incredible story of passion, artistry, and resilience.
