Love-ism is a long term study inspired by the book “ART OF LOVING” by Erich Fromm. With his research Mor Shani wishes to take a closer
look on the human experience of intimacy. Love-ism is a modular piece of work, and is compiled of community workshops, film products, two stage duets and one full evening stage piece.
The working methods of this study and production trajectory aspire to demonstrate an essential manner of thinking about the creation and presentation of contemporary dance with and within a community; in which participants and audiences are encouraged to become co-authors and critical spectators.
The duet The problem of being together Two urge driven bodies – a man and a woman- are cages in a tight composition declaring one supreme goal: to get together. In body, in mind, in spirit. Inertia is their only source of faith. They are wasted, and yet, their doomed to fail, pathetic, attempts become an ode to radical romanticism – an ode to the ones who choose to keep on trying.
The film Love-ism | Things That Matter.During Love-ism choreographer Mor Shani is closely collaborating with video artist Paul Sixta. Sixta expands the conceptual grounds of Love-ism by challenging the discussion and making the process of creation transparent. Sixta’s film products develop with the creation process and while touring. They are an integral part of the stage pieces themselves but also have a significant role in the community work and audience participation of Love-ism.

Itamar Serussi / Sahar (Israel, 1978) started dancing in 1998 at the Batsheva Dance Company. Since 2006, he is developing his own personal style. He experiments with physical boundaries by using humour and improvisation. Trying to break through traditional dance. His work is playful, light and elegant. From 2010 – 2012 he was residential choreographer Danshuis Station Zuid (Tilburg, NL). In this capacity he created several short productions; under which Ferrum, Lust and the full length work Mono. This last title was nominated for a Swan award “Best dance production – season 2011-2012” at the Nederlandse Dansdagen, Maastricht.

Liat Waysbort created the solo Please me Please for the young male dancer Ivan Ugrin, in which he transforms from a man to a woman, from an object of desire to the one who desires, from a ballerina to a porno star. And all to please! In an organic and way he travels through the extremity of images and plays with our pre- perception of what we see and what it makes us feel.
Liat Waysbort (Israel 1974) began her dance career in Tel-Aviv, where she has been dancing with the Bat-Sheva Dance Company for a decade. Waysbort had started her creative work in Dansateliers in 2005, and continued with her very successful choreographic trajectories in Dansateliers since then. Liat also created various works for companies.
