DAWN Schedule 2021
DAWN is Reboot’s all-night culture and arts festival celebrating the Jewish calendar’s best-kept secret - Shavuot. Reboot is producing this year’s “choose-your-own” experiential adventure in partnership with the Jewish Emergent Network and LABA’s Into the Night Tikkun Layle Shavuot.
DAWN 2021 Schedule
DAWN featured THREE concurrent streams of programming with something for everyone. Film, conversation, music, live cooking, stretching, dance, and study. Here’s a breakdown of the channels:
What We Missed At Sinai: The mystics say that every soul that ever was and would ever be reunited at Sinai. Now, on the brink of reemergence, we find ourselves in the midst of another Cosmic Reunion. So, Reboot & LABA gathered the artists, musicians, writers, chefs and filmmakers of today to highlight what they have seen and shed light on where we are going.
Ruth Revisited: The rabbis of the Jewish Emergent Network imagine their Cosmic Reunion with the characters from the Book of Ruth, the book we read on Shavuot, immersing themselves in those themes: interfaith marriage, caring for the poor, equity, environmentalism, grief and loss, altered states, and more. Ruth Revisited brings together rabbis, spiritual leaders, and special guests in a full night of conversation, song, study, movement, and ecstatic dance.
Sounds and Symbols: The ancient Hebrew on the scrolls is but one revelatory text. Music and movement is the “Torah” for the extraordinary musicians, dancers and artists that Reboot & LABA have united. At 10 PM we will feature “Eight Hours ‘Round Midnight,” an extended meditation by John Schott on Thelonious Monk’s immortal ballad. The piece, unfolding note by note, serves as a “text” for Schott to rabbinically interpret and comment upon.
Some of the sessions were designed to engage you visually, intellectually or through music. Others got us moving, and some will even had us cooking (recipes here)!
