<\/a>Looking at the costumes in Zabar\u2019s studio one can see the way this theme has been developed in the costumes. A white dress acquires a faded purple collar and a light wash of purple on the buttons, in the full color version the collar is a rich purple, as is most of the dress, alternating with some light purple. A man\u2019s shirt begins with plaid stripes on a white background, then orange and brown stripes on the same white background, ending up as a warm orange with brown stripes. The costumes were all originally designed for \u201cSrul\u201d and four versions of each were made to create the gradient color effect, with a total of 100 costume elements.<\/p>\n
Zabar graduated from The Shenkar College of Engineering and Design in 2003 and has been creating costumes for the stage ever since. He has designed costumes for The Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company, Fresco Dance Company and recently created the costumes for Rooster by Barak Marshall. A gallery of photos can be seen on Zabar’s website<\/a>. He approaches each work from a fresh perspective, creating a unique look and feel that expresses and enhances the thematic elements.<\/p>\n Says Zabar, \u201cIn making the costumes for Srul I focused on the cut and style of the period. I tried to suit the costumes to the bodies of the individual dancers, and find colors to suit each person. In choosing the scale of colors I didn\u2019t want to bring the work too far into the present. It\u2019s more of a 70s color scheme \u2013 yellows, greens, reds. I didn\u2019t use blues. I wanted the colors to be warm. The colors correspond to the characters to a certain extent. The mother and father are in purple and a red-orange. The dancers who portray the same couple in the past are dressed in similar colors.\u201d<\/p>\n Kamea Dance Company was founded in 2002 by Tamir Ginz, resident choreographer of the company and co-artistic director with Daniella Schapira. This moving rainbow of memories will premiere in Tel Aviv, with subsequent performances in Beer Sheva, Kiryat Motzkin, Givatayim and Herzliya.<\/p>\n<\/a>
