"An Inner Knowing: Tova Hopemark" (Season 4, Episode 4), the newest episode of our season, dropped Monday, August 14. We called to the Bimah actor, playwright, and filmmaker Dr. Tova Hopemark, who is based in the NYC metro area.
Dr. Hopemark shared insights into her film "Alright, Robot", where she plays a Jewish millennial struggling with isolation and mental health who forms an unlikely friendship with her AI assistant. We explored the importance of centering Jewish characters in narratives and how Jewishness intersects with themes of loneliness, technology, and the search for meaning.
We discussed Dr. Hopemark's journey from academia to creating her own work as a performer and filmmaker, and how her PhD in Theatre from Northwestern has influenced her artistic practice.
Dr. Hopemark opened up about her play on queer pregnancy, co-sponsored by Amy Poehler, and the importance of telling under-represented stories. We delved into how her Jewish identity and values shape the stories she tells and the impact she hopes to have as a Jewish creative.
"On the Bimah" continues to showcase the diversity and depth of contemporary Jewish theatre, guided by your host Danielle Levsky.
This podcast is an Alliance for Jewish Theatre program, produced by Danny Debner and Danielle Levsky. Our theme music is by Ilya Levinson and Alex Koffman.
