Self Performance

​ 

upcoming workshop:
January 31st - April 13th 2019
10:00am - 3:00pm
Thursdays
Tamara Studio, Batia Makov 20, Rehovot, Israel.
​
12 meetings,  5 hours each day, studio presentation
During the period of the workshop we will hold  weekly meetings in which we will work on the development of "I" as a performer :
  • Developing a choreographic idea, translating the idea into movement in a solo and in a group.
  • We will study movement materials from Anat's repertoire.

This is a platform for dancers / performers that provides an opportunity to experience a work method and acquire tools for expression from the background and experience of performing artists in the field of dance and performance, and is intended for dancers with backgrounds and experience who want to explore and enrich their personal language as dancers / performers .
At the end of the period we will present a studio presentation based on the research during the workshop

We will focus on a number of topics:
  • To recognize the self: to create a personal solo and to improve the awareness of the self as the definition of a dancer / performer, How do I as a dancer express myself and get to know my presence? What is the essence I need to be present in the body? What is my "motor" as a performer? how does my personal history, my visibility, my body expresses the movement? 
  • Translation of the concept into motion: We will acquire tools for constructing and applying a choreographic idea. Where do we start? How do we translate an idea into a relevant choreography? We will take a look behind the curtain of the mind to reach a point from which we can perform our self-appearance from a personal point of view in a collective perspective.
  • From narrative to abstract: We will examine the emotional change that occurs in the transition from action to movement: how everyday movement serves us in an abstract movement.
The workshop was created out of the need to pass on my information as a creator and as a performer. To put the "I" at the center of the work and to give it expression to be present and complete with itself, both in life and on the stage. Each process is a journey, a search, research, the encounter of the work with the audience at the end of the process brings with it conclusions that could not be reached without communication with the viewer, the choice of appearance at the end of the process requires 

  • For professional dancers, dance students, actors and movers with dance experience
  • Up to 20 people
  • Large space with dance floor and sound system
