RIPPLES

Interdisciplinary Dance Performance | 2022

Three dancers, a sound artist, and a live visual artist explore the idea of the wave as a primal and physical phenomenon — from breath to movement, sensation, and communication.
Spinal waves ripple through bodies, shifting between human and animal-like movement. Live animation and sound blend with the dancers, forming a dynamic and immersive environment.
The audience surrounds the space, actively engaged in a sensory experience of shifting perspectives
First created and performed during Covid in a home studios, later expanded to larger venues..

Watching the dance project "RIPPLES" by Tali Zavilevich is both rewarding and challenging. It demands active viewing — a split attention and simultaneous focus on multiple centers. In parallel to the way the piece disassembles and reassembles the concept of ‘wave,’ offering it in myriad forms and expressions of infinity, the viewer is drawn into an internal wave-like movement — oscillating between experience and reflection, between revelation and being revealed. This is a complex work which, true to its name, continuously unfolds, layer by layer, throughout the performance and lingers in the viewer long afterward.

“I still feel the waves, as if I sat on a small boat and am still rocking from what I saw, felt, and heard.”
Some described the experience as a shared voyage; others were flooded with associations of birth and death. For some, it stirred deep questions of identity.
