Dance show – “Something , something else”

“Something , something else” is  a dance creation by Noa Manor for the Matura group. 

This work is about diving into shape and movement concepts related to intuitive and instinctive feelings. An encounter of decision and movement, of step and reflection. The premiere, sponsored by the Haifa Arts Foundation, was on July 17, 2025 at Beit HaGefen.

Something, something else

Do something, do something else

Cumulative image, frame, support

Falling apart and cuddling up

Looking and not-looking and deep inhaling

Iridescence, lustrous view

A crater, a crater filling up

Guiding incidence

A set of tributes

Closing circles

Stopping, stopping when it’s necessary
