The Third Dance
a duett by Niv Sheinfeld and Oren Laor
In their work, Niv Sheinfeld & Oren Laor reflect upon themes of love, mortality and the need to be acknowledged. “The Third Dance” starts with romanticism and its clichés – music by Mahler, flowers and a record player – but gradually uncovers a basic human need that lies beneath these cultural symbols.
Following “Two Room Apartment” from 2012, “The Third Dance” is the second creation by Niv Sheinfeld & Oren Laor that is inspired by the work of Liat Dror & Nir Ben Gal.
A couple in life and on stage, Sheinfeld & Laor revisit a seminal piece in Israeli dance and contemplate it from a contemporary stance acknowledging the time that has passed since their last duet: the changes in their bodies and relationship, their perception of stage and space and their interaction with the audience.
Choreographed and performed by Niv Sheinfeld and Oren Laor
Inspired by The Third Dance by Liat Dror and Nir Ben Gal (1990)

Everything must go
a trio by Dana Ruttenberg
Take everything you have. Put it in Piles. Does it spark joy for you? keep it. If it does not, be willing to let it go” (M. Kondo).
In a "garage sale", everything is taken out. You, the visitor, decide what is junk and what is a treasure. And if you do decide to take something with you, you help us let it go.
This is a farewell ritual. It's Bob Dylan. It's the track that played during that first kiss, and the one that accompanied the last breath. It's an homage to empty hands that long to be filled.

THE SUIT
Solo by Ori Lenkinski
On Valentine’s Day, 1962, Jackie Kennedy invited television cameras into the White House to what would become an iconic tour of the extensive renovation she championed. In doing so, she reshaped the world’s image of the First Lady and of ladies altogether.
In Tel Aviv, 2019, armed with a pink suit (not a Chanel), Ori Lenkinski summons Kennedy’s energy to take the audience on a tour of the here and now.
Concept / Choreography / Performance: Ori Lenkinski
Music: Chubby Checker, Pablo Casals
Artistic Advisors: Rachel Erdos, Renana Raz, Ofer Amram
Goofy
Solo by Roni Chadash
"To the woman he said.. and your desire shall be to your husband, and he shall rule over you." Genesis 3:16
‘Goofy’ in Hebrew means MY body. I wanted to put a question mark on this ownership and to expose how easily it can be violated.
My body is playing with your gaze; how quickly can a body transform from an object to a subject? from multiple organs with no identity to a clear image of a woman?
Choreography / Performance: Roni Chadash
Rehearsal manager: Dana Shoval
Music: Arvo Part, Nicolas Jaar, Chopin
