Her professional career started in the 1950s in Holon, a neighboring city of Tel Aviv, Israel. In search of systematizing body movements, Eshkol and the architect Avraham Wachman created the Eshkol-Wachman Movement Notation (EWMN), a set of symbols and numbers to represent physical movement.

YAEL DAVIDS- One Is Always a Plural

Migros MuseumFor the exhibition One Is Always a Plural, artist Yael Davids has selected art from the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst’s collection to bring into dialogue with her own works. She engages with the institution and its collection in an unusual manner. The foundational ideas of the Feldenkrais Method play a key role in the design of the exhibition and selection of works. This holistic body-oriented technique believes that movement principles form the basis of every human action, and it aims to expand self-image through carefully performed movement sequences. Davids examines the potential of the Feldenkrais approach in a completely different area, in the experience of art. She invites visitors not only to “see” art but also to find another way of accessing it through body and movement.Over the course of the exhibition, the audience is cordially encouraged to actively participate in classes, led by professional Feldenkrais teachers. Participants will have the opportunity to visit the exhibition before andSee More

Noa Eshkol Rules, Theory & Passion

Oslo Kunstforening “Noa Eshkol: Rules, Theory & Passion” is the first major retrospective of Noa Eshkol (1924-2007) in the Nordic countries. The exhibition covers Noa Eshkol’s entire life and oeuvre; her wealth of research, theory development, studies into language comprehension, textile art and movement notation. The exhibition also includes works by contemporary artists inspired by Eshkol’s practice; Sharon Lockhart, Yael Bartana and Omer Krieger.Noa Eshkol began her professional career in the 1950s as a dancer, choreographer and theorist. In 1954, she founded The Chamber Dance Quartet in Holon, outside Tel Aviv , Israel. In her quest to precisely capture and analyze movement of the body, she created the notation system “Eshkol-Wachman Movement Notation (EWMN)” together with her pupil, the architect to be Avraham Wachman. The ground-breaking system, like music notation, is used for both documenting and communicating but rather than capturing musical tone and rhythm it represents physical movement. The system could be used beyond dance, asSee More

WORKSHOP WITH MOR BASHAN (FOR ADULTS)

Migros Museum, Zurich  Free admission and workshop. Pre-booking is required via Eventbrite, limited places are available, please book early.In EnglishLocation: Rampe LöwenbräukunstPart of the Anniversary Weekend “25 years Löwenbräukunst”The Eshkol-Wachman movement notation enables a body’s movements to be analyzed in time and space and recorded graphically using a system of symbols. During these workshops led by Mor Bashan (Chamber Dance Group dancer and archivist at the Noa Eshkol Foundation), participants are invited to translate their own sequences of movements into “language” in a playful way and perform them again using their notation as a reference.Noa Eshkol created the movement notation primarily as a compositional tool. Through the movement notation, it is possible to define, analyze and quantify the given “material” – that is, the body that moves in space and time. We invite participants to experience performing elements and practice from the repertoire of Noa Eshkol dance compositions.The workshop will introduce the participant to the language of movement, created by Eshkol throughSee More
