Batsheva Dance Company at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art / Session by Ohad Naharin
After an exceptionally successful collaboration as part of the exhibition Imagine a Museum (or: The Remembering Body), Session returns to the Tel Aviv Museum of Art for another round of shows.
Session was created in 2011 for the Museum of Modern Art in Basel, Fondation Beyeler. It comprises materials from Ohad Naharin’s repertory, plucked from the original works where they were performed: from the lighting, the original composition, the costumes and the constellation of viewing dance on stage. They are performed spontaneously and independently by the Batsheva Dance Company dancers. The living body, with all the knowledge absorbed in it, is featured as a ready-made and charged with new contexts.
This act of attuning remembering bodies holds the inherent failure of the movement’s attempt to replicate itself. Out of this attempt, the physical medium emerges as an arena of infinite singularity, which in turn, produces singular beauty.
Performed by Batsheva Dance Compnay season 2023-2024:
Yarden Bareket, Billy Barry, Adi Blumenreich, Yael Ben Ezer, Matan Cohen, Nathan Chipps, Guy Davidson, Iyer Elezra, Sean Howe, Londiwe Khoza, Adrienne Lipson, Eri Nakamura, Gianni Notarnicola, Danai Porat, Igor Ptashenchuk, Yoni (Yonatan) Simon.
