  • Shakuhachi

    A Shakuhachi is a japanese bamboo flute. I first heard a recording of it (Sanctuary: Music from a Zen Garden) some years ago and I was really taken by it. I recently acquired a Shakuhachi and with it came much more.

  • Survival

    I can honestly say that I don’t know where this post is going – but I have a lot of thoughts in my head, I feel the connection and I hope to make it concrete through writing. What triggered this was a brochure I saw this morning of a person I consider to be an…

  • Shlomit

    Two days ago there was an intimate performance in Shahar’s garden where there is a 60 square-meeter stage. One of the solo performance was by Shlomit. Shahar told me she called a day or two before the performance and asked if she could take a part in the performance and Shahar welcomed her. This was…

  • Wandering

    These images were taken during a walk I took in fields near our house. In a way it was a new beginning because I had not wandered out with the camera in hand for a long time – I still don’t. I usually feel lost in the world with the camera in hand. This time…

  • Beautiful Flowers

    This occurrence is a reminder to me of the amazing potential of improvised work. This session took place during preparations for the final performance of Shahar’s Tune-Barcelona workshop. [slidepress gallery=’beautiful-flowers’] I was busy preparing all kinds of technical things for the performance when Sophie came up to me and asked if I can join her,…

  • WordPress Karma

    This post has been on my mind for quite some time. What finally pushed it out is the unofficial international wordpress day (although I missed it by a day or two). Karma is one of those tricky sanskrit words that relentessly changes its meaning in accomodating different contexts in which I try to apply it. In…

  • Dynamic Quality

    Many ideas for posts that are running through my head rely on concepts of Quality I have adopted from Robert Pirsig’s books “Zen & the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance” & “Lila”. So I have finally to decided to attempt at writing something about them – so those other posts may finally find their way onto…

  • Glimpses 04 – April 2008

    “sweet” came to an abrupt end – i think this was the first time i learned from shahar about clear decisions. though the work was very promising, the energy was not cohesive in the group and so this magical beginning came to an end. a few months later i was with shahar again – this…

  • Artistic Direction

    At SweetClarity, Shahar is the Artistic Director. Ever since we formally recognized this I have been thinking on what a wonderful thing it is for a company to have Artistic Direction, and though I have a clear sensation of what this is, I found it hard to explain (to myself and therefor to others). One…

  • Atha Yoga!

    Introduction Whenever I make attempt at writing “Yoga is…”, I get stuck. The temptation to approach this question originates in my need to share Yoga with others. The most popular question I get about Yoga is “what kind of Yoga do you teach?”. The more experience I have facing this question – the better practiced…

  • Tune – Barcelona

    During March 12 – 26 Shahar and I will be in Barcelona – during the first Artness Tune project. I am very excited about this.

  • light layers

    In our recent visit to Berlin we used to projections within the same performance space. This rendered a new quality of stage landscape and a special lighting quality that feeds on the space itself.

  • The Manifest

    Finally it’s time. Time to share the idea behind SweetClarity. Why now? Because now it became relevant – I feel a need to do this and after talking over with Shahar, I’ve decided to let the world know about SweetClarity.

  • The Blog Performance

    Usually when I have empty time and space thoughts & ideas appear. Ironically this usually happens when I am away from a computer (and I spend more time then I like to admit at the computer). Recently acquired and applied wisdom has equipped me with a notebook and pen which are a convenient substitute.

  • Glimpses 03 – February 2008

    i forgot to mention that the previous glimpses image was part of a process/project that was in retrospect named ‘sweet’. the current image is also from ‘sweet’ –  it was taken during the last session. this time we (shahar, tal and myself) were in a dark studio. tal had brought along a single mobile stage-light.…

  • Upcoming Performance: RARO

    “RARO” a multi-disciplinary art improvisation performance Those who are either in or visiting Israel are invited to an upcoming performance in which I (as the photographer) and Shahar will take part along with participants of the Artness “Orhcard Labs” project. The performance will take place on January 30, 2008 – at “Yoga Place” at Kibutz…

  • She’s Back

    Heather Nova started off her career with boiling raw energy. Then her music softened and rounded out. It seems that during her recent 2008 European tour that her fire is burning strong again – still not what it used to be – but I really enjoyed hearing the meeting of her amazing voice and screeching…

  • playfulness

    As our exploration continues (by the way – yes that what the studio is like when we work: movers, a painter, photography, live projection…)

  • Glimpses 02 – December 2007

    this image was taken a week after the image in the previous issue of glimpses. shahar invited three people: tal, eran and myself and to partake in a creative journey. i had no idea what would happen, and neither did anyone else. shahar’s invitation was the common thread. as you may recall i was in…

  • Upcoming Performance: The Poetic Body

    “The Poetic Body” – 9 artists ~ 6 arts ~ one night and a performance Those who are either in or visiting Israel are invited to an upcoming performance in which I (as the photographer) and Shahar will take part along with 7 other artist and additional guests. The performance will take place on December…
