Dancing Hands
A personal journey of artist and choreographer Mayan Zohar, who holds a Masters degree in choreography from the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance, brought her to research the world of the deaf: language in the public sphere, separating movement from spoken language and the physical laws that accompany it, the inner voice, facial gestures and dynamics. The research, backed with methodical work, was transformed into a unique language of movement.
The program:
Developing a new movement language 'Dancing Hands', communication based on movement and sound, where each dancer must make their own individual statement through their bodies, hands, and inner voice.
