The Diva, a documentary

Jeannette (Janet) Ordman is the diva of Israeli dance. A petite, aristocrate woman, who speaks only English and who dedicated her live to dance and her dogs. She was born on November 8th 1935 in South-Africa and began her dance career with the Johannesburg Festival Ballet and later danced with Sadler’s Wells Opera Ballet in London. In 1965 she came to Tel-Aviv to teach ballet and opened in 1968, together with Baroness Batsheva Rothschild the ‘Bat-Dor Dance Company’. Jeanette believed deeply that success demanded not only talent but also dicipline, persistence, dedication, hard work and commitment. ‘Mozer Films’ made a 58 min. documentary (that will be released soon) about ‘The Diva’ of dance. The film presents, for the first time, the exclusive story of her life: a combination of reverse worlds. … Read entire article »

The Gordon Pool

Two years ago the Municipality of Tel-Aviv razed the historic 54 year-old Gordon swimmingpool without any prior warning. The pool, placed not far from Gordon-beach was the popular pool for the old bohemians of Tel-Aviv; the salt water was demarcated by lush lawns, which would offer a beautiful view of the valley. The forceful manner by which the municipality has conducted itself, without any manners or sensitivity of the historic vallue for the place and its customers (some more then 40 years!!), is revolting. A few weeks ago I watched a 20 minutes raw cut of a documentary about the last two years of this historic pool, made by the film-director Ronen Schechner: it is moving, heart-breaking; Gordon pool was for this people their home. Ronen is looking for sponsor to finish this important documentary … Read entire article »
