\nThe life underneath our lives. Two dancers and an actor dance in one frame, whose parts change constantly and rapidly, charged with repressed emotions. Set to music by J. S. Bach.<\/p>\n

\nOpening up to a world that extends the moment between sleeping and waking, blurring the familiar border, loving to daydream\u2026<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nA glimpse into the lives of four women, in their intimate space: exposes situations that are not spoken of. Old fears, feelings that have been stored deep within, under the rug.<\/p>\n
\nRebecca Crown Auditorium: 10.12.09<\/p>\n
\nA work that deals with the essence of creation; containing a polarized world. The inspiration of basic shapes, a line and circle, that can also be interpreted as male\/female, presence\/absence, empty\/full, black\/white, created a unique movement language that employs a spiral structure that gains velocity and symbolizes increasing energy, and growth.<\/p>\n
\nA work which deals with social codes that govern our contemporary reality. Shechter takes feelings of dominance and aggression as his starting point, which, according to him, have gained control over our lives in areas such as: social and romantic relationships, security, economics, and culture.<\/p>\n
\nRebecca Crown Auditorium: 11.12.09 at 13:00<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nThe work was entirely created on familiar waltzes and deals with the romantic aesthetic of music through a private, personal prism, and endeavors to be unconditionally swept away. Through its cultural and personal distance from the music the work undertakes a humorous and convoluted journey between identities and different emotional layers, in search of \u201cthe romantic.\u201d In this work Godder continues her ongoing collaboration with dramaturg Itzik Giuli and dancer Eran Shani. This is her first collaboration with visual artist Yohai Mattus, who creates a plastic-performance response to the work in his personal visual language.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nAn investigation of the site of bodily ruin exposes a spirit that seeks to forget or create for itself a substitute memory. The body as a textual space upon which human life is written. The dancers turn to their bodies and, like archeologists, try to reach these experiences through the signs that remain.<\/p>\n
\nRebecca Crown Auditorium: 14.12.09 at 20:00<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nA piece for seven dancers and an artist\u00a0 – Jeremy Hoffman \u2013 that centers on passion, the desire to blossom, to collapse and develop, the wonders of nature and human nature.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nThe work is about: multiple events, human awareness and music in six parts.<\/p>\n
\nRebecca Crown: 12.12.09 at 20:30<\/p>\n
\nAll three choreographers suggest different points of reference to situations of uniformity as opposed to individuality, static vs. change.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nNoa Dar examines the individual\u2019s potential for freedom in confrontation with a policing group which enforces conformity and uniformity.<\/p>\n
\nA trio for three female dancers. Three identical women seek individuality in a world dominated by beauty and power, precision and competition.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nIrad Mazliah tracks the moment in which opposites merge and change takes place: is it possible to stop and probe deeply something that is in motion, or is it better to let it continue to move and let go of the need for control and comprehension.<\/p>\n
\nRebecca Crown Auditorium: 8.12.09 at 20:00<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nNiv Sheinfeld and Oren Laor invited dancer\/choreographer Keren Levi (Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company and Bat Sheva Ensemble) to take part in creating their new piece. The creators and their work spin into dizzying journey of episodes and images that reveal the internal contradiction between the desire to find one\u2019s place within a particular framework and feel at one with it, and the desire to be released from it in order to achieve self-expression.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nThe work deals with the gap between the tragic reality of death and its melodramatic theatrical representation. Dealing with clich\u00e9 and melodrama emphasizes our helplessness in confronting death.<\/p>\n
