Teaching Children

By The students of Noa Eshkol

"Children's Work: Book preparation materials (1997)", color photograph, 1970-1979.

This capsule brings together materials from movement classes for children, conducted by students of Noa Eshkol in several different kibbutzim.

 

During these lessons, the children were explored to the basic principles of the Eshkol-Wachman Movement Notation and learned to use its fundamental tools, which enabled them to experiment with creating their own notation as well as dance compositions.
