What happens to the live body when technology can What happens to the live body when technology can multiply, enlarge and reproduce it? In a new Re:View, Judy Adini responds to Yael Weiss’s 'Tension', considering the relationship between the performing body and its mediated image, the pleasure and politics of looking, and what remains singular in an age of endless reproduction. “The camera had to follow this particular body, with its experiences, desires and pains, in order to generate the singular, unrepeatable value of Tension.” Read The Multiplied Body in full on Creative Writing.

What happens when the work you came to see isn’t t What happens when the work you came to see isn’t there? At the Israel Festival, Temporarily Removed, artistically directed by Eiv Kristal, turned the absence of international artists and performances into the material of the work itself. Nofar Sela joined Prof. Erez Maayan Shalev’s tour and found herself thinking about boycott, artistic isolation, parenthood, memory, moral responsibility and the possibility of meeting one another precisely through what is missing. “We have to be one another’s community, the best colleagues we can possibly be.” Nofar Sela responds to Temporarily Removed as part of Creative Writing @ the Israel Festival.

Where is the male gaze in ׳The Thinking Heart?׳ R Where is the male gaze in ׳The Thinking Heart?׳ Responding to Neta Shpigelman’s work at the Israel Festival, guest writer Nadav Bossem wonders about the one voice he felt was absent from the stage: that of the male performer. So he creates one. In his response, Nadav writes the monologue of the performer who wasn’t there, returning to his own encounter with Etty Hillesum twenty years ago and asking what it means to read her, and understand her, from where he stands today. “Today I am Etty. Because isn’t that what I’m doing here?” Read Nadav Bossem on 'The Thinking Heart' on Creative Writing in English and Hebrew.

Creative Writing at the Israel Festival! We’re so Creative Writing at the Israel Festival! We’re so pleased to be present at this year’s festival with a special group of guest writers responding to works across the program. First up, we’re very excited to welcome Anat Dreamer to Creative Writing with a guest post responding to Extras by Jonathan Ron. Four performers reveal the behind-the-scenes reality of working as extras, and in particular, the task of dying on screen. Dreamer reflects on cinematic death, heroes and peripheral characters, and our complicated relationship with watching people die. Read the piece now on Creative Writing, in Hebrew and English.

“The Duende climbs up inside you, from the soles o “The Duende climbs up inside you, from the soles of the feet.” In her response to Adva Yermiyahu’s 'Alma Galbi', Heather DeAtley writes from inside an ongoing dance with grief about the moment flamenco, through rhythm, voice and movement, allowed that grief to finally permeate her body. A deeply personal reflection on 'Alma Galbi', Ofra Haza, flamenco, cultural memory, and the mysterious force of Duende. New on Creative Writing.
