Born in Boston in 1941 into a Jewish Ashkenazi family, Jonathan Daitch divided his professional career as a teacher first in the US, where he earned a doctorate in education, and then in France, where he has lived for the last 35 years. An avid amateur photographer since the age of 19, photography became a full-time activity when he retired in 2001. In 2007, at the invitation of the Alrowwad Cultural Centre in the Aida refugee camp in Bethlehem, he spent two weeks there helping to set up a darkroom and giving photography classes. This led to working with both the Alrowwad and Yes theatre troupes on tours in France in 2011, 2012, and 2014. It was during the 2014 Yes Theatre tour that the idea for Acting Out: Voices from the Theatre in Palestine was born and developed. See less
