    Workshop no.1 

    An effective playfulness of performing a task – tension and attention

    Friday 25th November 

    19:30 -22:00 

    Movement and Sound (Guest artist Lam Lai)

    We will perform movement as a game of shifting attention, listening and reacting to changes. Hearing the intangible and real noise of a physical task in the mind and the muscles, teaches us how to use tension effectively and find refinement in motion. Joining the creative session, composer Lam Lai will create a field of sound where we will play with the expectation that sound produces. By embodying the resonance between physicality and music we will search for other ways to listen.

    Key words: attention, tension, listening, physical, sound.

    Eilit Marom is a performance artist specialized in embodiment and non verbal communication. She creates performances and installations where the public can experience re-connection to themselves, to others and the environment. She gives attention to physical actions and interactions, reminding people to trust their bodies and sense the signals the body is sending them. Over a decade she teaches her practice and guides groups through creative processes where people find a sense of solidarity, creativity and empowerment in self recognition. She has worked with performers and communities of different ages and abilities in Europe and overseas, sharing her message that actively listening to the body is key in living a pleasurable life. www.eilitmarom.com

    Lam Lai has been expanding the meaning and properties of performance by employing various elements of contemporary theatre via working on the traditional concept of music, exploring a place where different concepts of listening experience can coexist and advance towards a balance with other art forms. She also collaborates with theatre directors, choreographers, actors and visual artists in various indoor and outdoor performances. Her activity as a composer is not limited to instrumental music, but it is also present in her multidisciplinary works which are predominantly electronic sounds and performative elements. lamlai.com
