Ze'eva Cohen Creating A Life In Dance is a model of how an artist can survive in the dance world by carving out an independent path for herself. Sharon Kaufman, an award winning television and video editor, makes her directorial debut with this film. The half-hour documentary, as narrated by Ze'eva Cohen, demonstrates the transformation and evolution of an artist over seven decades, showing how life and art constantly intersect. Through restored archival film and stunning professional photos, Kaufman constructs a documentary that captures the cultural and stylistic diversity, stunning originality, honesty, and pure beauty of Cohen's work. We see Cohen creating a rich life from her roots as a young dancer in her native Israel to building a unique and prolific career in the U.S. as solo dance artist, choreographer, and innovative dance educator at Princeton University, where she founded and directed the dance program for four decades (1969-2009). The film's message of renewal and resourcefulness throughout a long career can benefit future generations for pursuing and sustaining a creative life.
