A weekend of interdisciplinary arts performances announces the festive launch of the Ankori Studio, a junior high/high school focusing on creative thought and entrepreneurship, a collaborative initiative of Osnat Haber Koton, Ankori CEO and Yehezkel Lazarov. The arts weekend will take place February 20 – 22, at Ankori House, 3 Sirkin St. Tel Aviv, all events are open to the public and admission is free!
Weekend events will include:
Public Movement with Ankori students will conduct an event called “positions,” a choreographed demonstration with the participation of the audience, in which one’s physical position reflects identification with a philosophical position. Founded by Dana Yahalomi and Omer Krieger, Public Movement researches and stages actions in the public sphere, exploring the political and aesthetic potential of people acting together as a group.
KLONE will use a classroom as a lab for artistic experimentation, and visitors will have an opportunity to take part. Igor, the street artist known as KLONE, began drawing in the public sphere around the turn of the century. Since then, his work has not only adorned the walls of Tel Aviv, but has been commissioned for dance performances, and participated in art projects and museum exhibitions.
Lashabiya – a short (8:30 min) film directed by Yechezkel Lazarov. Gabi and Einat stand before an Israeli flag in the schoolyard, while awaiting the Remembrance Day siren. In a moment that is perhaps conjured from memory, a game begins between a Palestinian man and a squad of armed soldiers.
Elinoy – a short (15 min) film directed by Roni Koren. The story of an adolescent girl, her relationships with her sister and father, and the connection she develops with her neighbor.
The Anti-Mehikon artists group will create a site-specific installation in the Ankori offices, without altering the existing contents and character, yet imbuing the space with an artistic presence.
Poet/performer Noam Partoum will present “Confetti” – a workshop on poetry, spoken word, social media and their interaction.
All this and more… Opening hours: Thursday, February 20th from 19:00 – 23:00; Friday February 21st from 10:00 – 15:00; Saturday, February 22nd from 18:00 – 23:00.
