This time, the festival was rich in wonderful performers: Simone Forti (USA), one of the important dancers using improvisation as a tool to come closer to the human movement, and James Saunders, who is on the other side of the fence. Trained as a modern dancer, he turns this language into a formof expression that is very personal and deep.
A third unusual attempt was Ahuva’s piece researching movement with an object constructed especially for her needs.
This festival also sought to discover the potential beauty in pedestrian movement.
