EINAT TAL

Being engaged deeply with the Feldenkrais method, dance improvisation, and Qigong, three disciplines that offer observation, practice, and creation, I consider myself a "mover". I constantly alternate between moving, teaching, and composing with movement as I prefer to divide my attention between complementary experiences that improve my understanding and thus ensure ongoing learning... Performing is a way to share my creative processes with others and to rediscover the piece in the light of an ephemeral event. The audience truly helps me understand better the context of one's creation, and I feel it's a necessary stage in the process of realizing one's imaginary world. Performing is a kind of gaze to another level of presence and an act of intimacy with the audience... As a Movement-improvisation teacher, I apply the fundamentals of the Feldenkrais method in my classes in a way that boosts body awareness, enriches movement repertoire, and improves skills.
