Inspiring Connections # 4 | Israel Festival | June 15th | Jerusalem Theatre Noa Dar Following Tamar Getter’s “Slingshot Girl”  In “Slingshot Girl,” a video work created by the artist Tamar Getter in 2004, a wounded girl slings a rock at a figure outside the frame. Taken from a Kung Fu film, the scene – which originally is only a few seconds long – was digitally manipulated and extended into an 8-minute action. Noa Dar was drawn to the link that Getter made between the stretched slingshot and the stretching of time. Using the elements of the event captured in the video, her solo moves on an axis that stretches between edges of tenseness and laxity, advance and retreat, accumulation and depletion, defence and attack, movement and stillness. Choreographer and performer: Noa Dar / Artistic advisor and rehearsal director: Yael Venezia / Artistic consultant: Michal Samama / Costumes design: Michal Bassad / Sound design: Elad Shniderman The festival's website  Purchase your tickets here from “Slingshot Girl” by Tamar Getter

Inventory is a new solo work by noa dar, following last year’s – ‘NoaNoa’. Here, she observes the parting process that holds a need to cling to the real, to what remains and can testify of what is absent. This work will be a farewell event from the space which has served as her studio for the last 14 years and which is slated for demolition in 2020. The performance, will pursue the elusive contents and materials that was created within these walls since it became hers studio. This transient material of which a body of works was created from – is now absent. In contrast, what remains are props and stage sets – those wrapping materials, made of solid substances, that served to define the spaces in which the works lived in. In the absence of the creations themselves, these objects become archeological artifacts that give signs to the Intangible contents they held once. In ‘Inventory’, these objects will be taken out of storage and will reconstruct in the studio to form a layered space wherein the performance will move between times, perspectives and narratives, revealing ways in which dance works continue to live on in memory, to disintegrated and then to reassembled into a new creation.
