Performance at Conference
The focus of Conference is, of course, on Jewish learning. But Conference is also home to brilliant performance.
There's a great buzz going on. Here's some of what to expect this year.
Strictly Limmud Dancing
Nice to see you ...
Back by popular demand, the welcome return of Limmud's answer to the tv sensation of the decade.
Six Limmud celebs display their Israeli dancing skills as they vie for the coveted honour of being Strictly Limmud Dancing Champion 2010.
A klezmer céilidh!
Celtic Schmeltic
A celebration of all things Yiddish. Music and dancing and much merriment.
Limmud Comedy Club
That's funny
Hosted by Ivor Dembina and featuring some of the best Jewish comics around, including Mark Maier. Plus open mic. Maybe we'll discover the next big star of Jewish comedy. You maybe?
Acoustic Café
Jam today
Limmud is packed with musicians, both professional and amateur, with lots of music performances scheduled during the week. Many of the musicians like to spend time jamming in the Acoustic Café and they love it when you join in!
Acoustic Café has hosted some extraordinary, unexpected and unmissable musical performances over the years – always impromptu and unscheduled. If you love music, keep an eye on what’s going on there.
Scratch Joseph? Done it! Scratch Fiddler? Been there!
Then how about ... Scratch Cabaret?
An evening of songs and sketches to celebrate our 30th birthday.
Scratch?
We put the whole thing together - from scratch - at Conference. And perform it. It's a riot!
Would you like to be involved? We need a musical director, musicians, a compère, individual acts and a chorus.
