I was not active lately, as I was terribly busy . Photographing 3 new dances and Barrocada consert with the Tel Aviv kamerata choral in the Tel aviv art museum

Add to this 5 exhibitions that two of them are still open..I'm as well in the middle of a huge PP work...BUT, I really missed my PN friends, so here is the first of them..

The choreographer is Sally Ann Friedland's work., and it is executed in two parts. The fiirst is called : Mrs. Icarus., and is sally's own part edited by Liat Freund a video artist.

The second part is called Me@May and was performed by a young dancer : May Armon. The choreography which was done for the- Choreographers Society- was beautifuly created by Sally- Ann and perfectly performed by May.So here is some examples of May dancing..

Icarus is also about ...my work (air navigation). I like the name and I also like your photo Pnina: misty and with different possible interpretations, well done! Best regards.

The second part ,as it is quite a longer part I will upload only 3 -4 movements of the whole

Another one

another one

another one , it is my impressions , as Sally explained it to me as a" pure" dance , but May is such a talent,, and Sally is a skiled choreographer, so I had to tell my feelings about the hidden meaning of the whole creation..

Fabulous, Pnina!  So nice to see your work again!

Thanks a lot both of you , for your comment and especially for meeting you again !

Donna. i thought about you and please let me know, what is goung on with you,!?

Joao you made me smile about Icarus ,it fits exactly for you !...

I'm still uploaded wth PP, but I will find the time to be in touch.

( The 10 minutes...._)

Here is the continuation......

another one

awakened in her room.....

May is flying to meet Mrs, Icarus.......;-))

It is the longest thread I have ever made, but I really wanted to share

with you the beauty ....executed by the two of them !

I hope you will enjoy it as I have with that dance experience

and

here ie the end... of the dance

Please read preface and role down.

Thanks

A marvelous series of images . . .  I'm not well versed enough when it come to dance forms, but intuitively I think I understand Sally's use of "pure dance."  It seems to me that the phrase applies most appropriately to the last image in the series, the lighting and motion effects of which enable a viewer to consider the myth of Daedulus and Icarus as an element of the dance itself.

Thanks both of you. and a happy new year to both of you and your families..

Michael, thanks as well for writting your point of vew,which is a good one as well. What I wanted to express with the last photo of MAY , was, closing an imaginative circular way, as Sally performing as Mrs. Icarus was behind the veiled cover, and May entering from the RHS, and being seen covered as well...with the small form of a button,.so it was realy her ( mine) imaginative way toward Mrs. Icarus......and closing the small story , as the whole of it in my own way....;-))working with Sally's choreography and er point of view and adding my commentary...

An unusual series of contortions.  The original shot seems quite hallucinogenic in terms of expression and colors.  Always a pleasure!

Really beautiful shots, Pnina!

Thank you, Your picture is full of insight with wisdom. Have a great year in 2015. Shalom.

Wow what a great series of expressive dancing poses.

The photo at the top, even at a small size on the screen, feels big. It would make a great poster size print. Has a good energy, almost apparition-like in nature. I like the scale of the bottle relative to the size of the face. And the folds of the curtain obscure just enough to give it a kind of mystique. 

The dance series below provides an interesting body study of the dancer, almost yoga-like in approach and feel. The super orange-saturated light especially of the first few gives it an almost burning feel for me. A couple of the poses are quite blatant and even confrontational, while others are much more passive. You've presented a nice array of moments to lead our imaginations as to what the choreographer and dancer were doing.
