What is IBDAW Dance?
What is IBDAW Dance?
IBDAW is not a dance style. It is a dance creation system - a stage between the abstract and the concrete.
Pronounced "Ibdaa", IBDAW is rooted in the Playing State Philosophy and uses any movement necessary and belongs to no single form. Contemporary, modern, and ballet techniques train the body, but they do not define the system.
IBDAW was created in 2012 out of a refusal to perform movement without meaning. In IBDAW, movement exists only if it serves the idea. If it does not, it is removed.
IBDAW is a playground for dancers, not a factory - a space for co-creation, inquiry, and clarity. What matters is to question, to feel, and to translate ideas into physical form.

Past Show / Elizaveta Bam – We Are All Elizaveta
Past Show / Elizaveta Bam – We Are All Elizaveta
Presented by the IBDAW Dance Team of the Emeel Academy.
Based on Daniil Kharms’ absurdist play and brought to life through the vision of Emeel Safie, our performance revives Elizaveta Bam with dance and playful spirit.
While the original play explores fear and uncertainty under authority, we expand the story — with new scenarios and movements that reflect its central themes.
In our version, we are all Elizaveta, trapped in a world where control is unpredictable — and yet, we continue to play.
