A dance performance that is a collaboration between two pieces which premiered in From Jaffa To Agripas festival 2024.
Floaty Eyes by Dana Naim Hafouta is a fantastic dance piece for three dancers and a star map that celebrates the mental and physical experience of liminalty. It is placed between heaven and earth and uses celestial and sacred images, while creating an intense physical language.
“We Have Floaty Eyes. They see and they don’t what’s already hard to grasp. They capture lingering light and star brightness and pull us up, suspended on the access between the skies and the earth. Reality placed us on the ledge, about to fall. All that is left is floating and not, flying and not. Between here and no-where”.
Choreography and concept: Dana Naim Hafouta
Dancers: Shahar Hanin, Yasmeeen Gariv, Dana Naim Hafouta
Music editing: Dana Naim Hafouta and Shahar Hanin
The Piece Premiered in From Jaffa To Agripas festival 2024 and was developed in the Residency program of the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance.
In Between by Henny Bezalel and Shaked Zonenfeld is a duet that deals with the small intervals in our lives. Between looking inward and reflecting outward, between intention and action there is still a moment of staying, a moment in which we deal with our thoughts, feelings and desires. These moments are like bridges that connect us from one interaction to another, from one act to another, and create an infinite continuity. We hope to bring the audience closer to the small moments in the continuous loop of life.
“We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.”
T.S Eliot
Choreography and performance: Shaked Zonenfeld and Hen Bezalel
The artistic process is supported by Beit Yael, the Jerusalem Municiplality.
