מאיה מזמינה אותנו לעצום עיניים ולספור עד חמש, וכשפתחנו אותן, גילינו אוהל צבעוני מהלך על הבמה.
האמא כל הזמן מכניסה אותם בחזרה לאוהל, כמו מכנסת אותם אל חיקה. חיק האמא האוהבת והשומרת
עליהם מכל רע. מה שכל אמא רוצה לילדיה. לאהוב ולהגן.Read more
We have been debating extensively whether or not independent artists
should be punished/sanctioned for their country’s politics without being
able to reach a clear conclusion on the matter. Be that as it may, we
feel the atrocities committed in Palestine have not been sufficiently
sanctioned neither by the state of Norway or on the world stage, and
feel we need to take action. We feel it necessary to break all ties to
Israel and the ongoing attack on the people of Palestine. A unanimous
board has voted to withdraw your invitation to Bergen Fringe. Our
sincere apologies for how this decision affects you personally.Read more
Recently, while discussing the concept for a new piece with a colleague, she urged me not to give up on the physicality of the work. “You can say so much of what you want to say in text, but I want to see you trying to say it through movement, too,” she said.

In live performance, every show is different. Every body is in a slightly different configuration each day, each person is in a unique mood during the show and there are all of the outside stimuli and conditions that influence the way things feel.

It has to consider that no two days are the same and, as such, no two shows can be identical. What works one day won’t work the next.Read more
Through repetitive phrases, done countless times in different interpretations, Lechet splays out the intensity of life. When the piece comes to a close, I wondered how the dancers would get home as Lechet demands every ounce of energy they have, every breath and every heartbeat. And yet, within this extreme effort, the dancers appear to be truly enjoying themselves. They have found a freedom within the grind (choreographic) and that revelation is uplifting not only as a dance-lover but as a person who runs my own rat race day in and day out. Read more
Choreographers have always filmed auditions. Until recently, it was clear that this recordings were to be used for later reference and were private.
However, I have noticed that more and more choreographers are affording themselves the luxury of publishing audition videos online.Read more
In the past, I need the audience’s approval and affirmation more. There is a balance between pleasing myself and pleasing the audience and it has changed from process to process. I’m trying to learn how to fulfill my own desires and I believe that if I’m able to free myself to satisfy myself, it will also satisfy the audience.Read more
