A Fish and a Bow (2024)

A multidisciplinary dance work performed by a dancer-performer who plays violin. Having been educated from a very young age in "high" culture — through classical music training, participation in summer camps for young musicians, and attendance at countless illustrated concerts — I embark on a personal journey of exposure, of shedding, and of drawing closer to what lies within and beyond the shell of the instrument and the shell of formal, achievement-oriented, intellectualized judgment in which both audience and performers exist. The solo uses the possibility of moving between instruments, between languages — again and again — until the boundary between them blurs. The violin and the body are the means through which expression, desire, and anxiety flow, resonate, and find their way toward encounter. The work invites both performer and audience into a shared process of searching for sources of inspiration and exploring the roots of creation. The work includes a bows installation.

The work was performed at the "Kelim" Center, Bat Yam; at the "The Mill for Civic Culture," Sha'ar HaAmakim; and in the "Sfira" dance series in Klil,Israel.
