360 degrees of dance on a giant trampoline \u2013 choreographer Maya Levy\u2019s\u00a0Net Work<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0will have its Israeli premiere in November. Winner of the 2009 Minister of Culture Prize, Levy\u2019s work is distinguished by the intimate connection between concept and physicality, creating dance pieces that are thought-provoking, visually appealing and daring.<\/p>\n Several of Levy\u2019s works have related the dancer\u2019s movements to physical objects, from the intricate in and out of switching shoes, to a dance involving wooden constructs somewhere between the sculptural and industrial, or the challenge of balancing on a small wooden board set on a ball.<\/p>\n Net Work<\/em>\u00a0takes complexity to a new level, with a duet that requires a 16 meter trampoline \u2013 and therefore, an alternative venue. The two spaces that will host the performance are Warehouse 2 at Jaffa Port, which has been converted to an urban art space and the Knight\u2019s Halls in the Old City of Acco.<\/p>\n \n \n Created in outdoor rehearsals near Michmoret (along the northern coast of Israel), the process of Net Work<\/em> was influenced by the elements at all stages \u2013 wind, light, shifting clouds, overhead jets and squawking chickens were part of the creative environment and are reflected in the soundtrack for the piece. The work will be performed by Noa Faran and Uri Shafir. Formerly of the Batsheva Ensemble, both are dancers with a strong stage presence which reveals an expressive intelligence, emotional depth and a creative sense of fun.<\/p>\n The choreographers stated in a press release: \u201cChoosing the trampoline invokes, on one hand, an uncertain world, out of balance, which demands a physical struggle; on the other hand there is the exhilaration of flight. Working with the trampoline presents many challenges to the dancer\u2019s body, and from that hardship emerges a new and fascinating logic of movement that ranges between the fun and laughter of child\u2019s play and the strict maintenance of balance. The duet combines the virtuoso performance of the body with dance and play, utilizing all the tools at our disposal to create a unique world.\u201d<\/p>\n Net Work<\/em>\u00a0was created for the Tanzwoche Festival in Dresden, and is the first collaboration between Maya Levy and Anando Mars, partners in life and work, who first met ten years ago as dancers in the Nir Ben Gal & Liat Dror Dance Company. Maya Levy is a graduate of the dance department at Thelma Yellin Arts High School, and of the School of Visual Theater, Jerusalem, where she currently teaches. Levy has worked as an independent choreographer since 2004, and her works have been shown at venues such as the Gevanim Dance Festival, the Ma’abada Theater, A Genre at Tmuna Theater, and Thin Line Project. Her works have been performed internationally in Germany, Slovania, Spain and other countries. Anando Hanan Mars is a dancer, choreographer and therapist who spent the past few years travelling between Europe and India, where he specialized in Sufi dance. His work \u201cMimi\u201d premiered in the 2004 Hot Dance Festival.<\/p>\n \n Net Work<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0by Maya levy and Anando Hanan Mars Performances: Hamama \u2013 Dance & Culture Lab, Knight\u2019s Hall, 1 Weizman Street, Festival Gardens, Old City of Acco.
