Nimrod Freed/ Tami Dance Company CRASH – TENNIS IN THE SKY WITH ISADORA

“Crash – Tennis in the Sky with Isadora” + Guest Artist Hillel Kogan: Three different short shows in one evening. Crash – Nimrod Freed, an international choreographer in Israel and around the world, brings together Mami Shimazaki, a wonderful Japanese dancer/creator who has lived in Israel for many years and danced as a soloist in the Bat sheva Dance Company -to perform with Sharon Atar – a groundbreaking musician / drummer & guitarist. Their joint duet creates a clash between different cultures and dance styles that becomes harmony, while creating an authentic movement language and an exciting stage experience – in a surprising dialogue between live music, dance, speech, and singing. “Tennis in the sky with Isadora”- The tennis game and the uncompromising struggle of the tennis player for victory as an image of our war for survival here and now. To attack, defend, lose and win – from the personal and the intimate to the political and the social. With authentic sound from the tennis court combined with trance music. Homage to Isadora Duncan – the pioneer of modern dance and the first dancer to perform barefoot. And Hillel Kogan in his wonderful solo – “Indecent Movement”.
