Viewer's comments:
Ruti Zuta, Researcher and Content Editor
“The introduction with the audience, and the amazing choreography creates an exceptional experience. The audience was briefly invited to feel their bodies and listen to them in a different way. As I walked and listened to the instructions, I was already curious to see how your guidance and the audience's performance would connect with the dance. Indeed, your steps and interactions felt familiar. The use of space in various directions and heights was fascinating. Your expressions, meetings and distances, the music starting and stopping — everything created something so intriguing and beautiful! I also loved the costumes. Truly, everything was moving and stunning!"
Ela Greenbaum, Choreographer
"It was so wonderful and beautiful!!I melted and resonated with the diagonal search, the reflective quality, the pair dynamic, and the self-expression."

“An amazing performance, I was captivated throughout. By the spirit of a show entirely dedicated to a clean and focused exploration (rare!). By the pleasant engagement with the audience that connected to a curious spirit. By your clear and friendly guidance. By both of your movement qualities. By the generous use of space. And especially by the range of expression: the focused intensity of the beginning reminded me of serious movement notation performances, the sweaty moments of effort, the connection and bond between you, and the smiling wink at the end. Thank you very much, deeply moved by your path."
