I'm present
I'm an Israeli dancer and emerging choreographer.
As a creator and performer, I'm deeply intrigued by complex, passionate physicallity, that relates to the way we communicate ourselves to society. I seek honesty and naturalness in performance.
Boundaries are the base to communication, but at the same time seperate the subject from the outer world. This inevitable situation creates tension, which translates into 'Intimate grammar'- one's private way of dealing with the gap between the inner and the outer world, that is both unique, and shaped by outer input.
The solo is a glance into my 'Intimate grammar'. I present it as an offering to my surroundings, a declaration of intent.
The piece was developed with the support of Sahar Azimi, in 'Feedback' program for creators. It performed at the 'Jerusalem festival of the performing arts' 2018, and id invited to perform at 'Highways performance center' LA California.
Dana is an Israeli artist, working in TLV and Jerusalem, where she collaborates with numerous choreographers and dancers.
Graduate of the Jerusalem academy for dance and music, in honors, and the 'Art accelarator' program by MASH (Machol Shalem dance house). Her pieces showed in various festivals in Israel and abroad, such as 'Between heaven and earth' (Premiere of 'Lattice' 2017); 'Factory 3' (Haifa, 2017); and 'Highs and lows' at 4bid gallery (Amsterdam 2017).
We are constantly judged, and measured. It is surrounding us so long, that we don't even notice anymore. We allow others to lablel us, and we demand ourselves to fit this tiny label. Why?
A dance theater solo that confronts measurement in relation to social standards, and try to give a genuine look of the the self behind the measures.
