In residence: Eilit Marom

Eilit Marom is a choreographer and visual artist based between the Netherlands and Israel. Her performances are driven by a pronounced action or interaction that brings performers and
public in direct contact with their embodied natural knowledge.

Only when you feel it is a new performance installation project for open space that aims to embody the notion of social influence. Based on voice, movement and the human ability to sense each other, a group of performers, including herself and a collaborator sound designer, will test how people are governed by momentum, resistance and flow.

During the residency Eilit will focus on the initial task – to move only when you feel it.The when is an indication that movement and sound will appear and disappear and it is the momentum generated by the other performers. For her, this task awakens the ability to tune into each other and expand the limits of sensing. Wanting to test the border of when she does something because she feels it and when she acts because something moves her. Eilit questions how much are we true to an inner self stimulated agency of sensing and how much are we influenced by what we see and hear around us?
