Corps de Walk

Corps de Walk is about walking, about moving, about a static condition of unique moments and tiny, subtle changes in body posture. The 12 dancers are uniformly dressed in flesh-coloured suits, with white hair and white contact lenses. Sudden, individual sallies in the choreography and muscular dynamics are glimpsed only to quickly vanish within tightly controlled lines or seemingly chaotic formations in which the dancers nonetheless have complete control. Sharon Eyal has collaborated with the Israeli musician and DJ Ori Lichtik for many years and his soundscape reinforces her potent language for the stage also in this production.

Sharon Eyal was born in Israel and has been dancing with Batsheva Dance Company for more than a decade. During her time there, she developed her talents as a choreographer. Her breakthrough came with the piece Love (2003). Eyal was Associate Artistic Director of Batsheva Dance Company from 2003-2004 and is currently House Choreographer. Eyal restaged Love for Carte Blanche in 2005 and created Killer Pig for the company in 2009.

Gai Bachar is an artist, curator and producer of the underground arts video, music and performance.
