The Personal Creation Program is a unique program that allows for a guided experience in a creative process. In the process, we will learn how to transform an emotion, memory, or abstract idea into movement material, and into a work of art performed in front of an audience. Over the course of the year, each participant will create a short personal dance piece – solo, duet, or trio. At the end of the process, we will hold two festive performance evenings, in which the pieces will be presented in front of an audience.
Throughout the creative process, we will work alone, in pairs, and in groups, looking for sources of inspiration, touching on technical elements such as lighting, soundtrack, costumes, use of objects, and more. We will meet artists and go see shows together to gain inspiration. We will disassemble and reassemble, talk about beginnings and endings, and about artistic means that will enrich our creation.
The entire process is closely supervised and artistically accompanied by Anat Katz – a dancer, creator, artistic director and with extensive experience in guiding creative processes, and by Eva Szubstarska – a dancer and teacher specializing in the field of improvisation and expression. The course takes place at the group school in a pleasant, empowering and nurturing atmosphere.
