“Zero-Three"- Dances from the dance suite ‘Theme and Variations’ performed by The Noa Eshkol Chamber Dance Group
White Night 2026: Performance by the Noa Eshkol Chamber Dance Group
For Nuit Blanche 2026, and in collaboration with the Museum of Jewish Art and History, the Noa Eshkol Chamber Dance Group presents: Zero-Three – Dances from the choreographic suite Theme and Variations
The suite was first composed by Noa Eshkol in the early 1960s. A decade later, in the early 1970s, Eshkol returned to the suite to develop it further, creating a complex dialogue between the original movement scores and the variations.
“The people who take part in these events work as a team for many years and are part of a larger team. What unites them is “movement notation” (dance notes). This subject is the nucleus around which daily work revolves. The mission (purpose) to establish an objectively valid system of symbols of movement in the human body dictates the work ethic, tone, topic and object of study. It should be understood that the group is not intended to produce theatrical events as such nor does it seek to “thrill” or “satisfy” the general public, with all due respect. To benefit or get enjoyment from the sessions offered, one should treat the “show” which is necessarily created through its publicness, as a window into our laboratory.”
– Noa Eshkol, 1987 –
