1998
Artistic Director: Amos Hetz
Producer: Shamayim- Ziv Ben
Lighting: Sivan Berlin
This year we initiated another collective project. Amos Hetz created five scores – each containing a set of rules for speed and space limitations – for five dancers, with a collage from eight different pieces by John Cage.
The same five dancers who took part in the project also performed their own solo pieces in the festival.
In addition, a new group of young dancers and musicians participated in this festival with a project of games and improvisations.
