The idea of beauty that man creates for himself affects his whole attire, ruffles or stiffens his coat, gives curves or straight lines to his gestures and even, in the process of time, subtly penetrates the very features of his face. Man comes in the end to look like his ideal image of himself.” (Charles Baudlelaire, “The Painter of Modern Life”)

“Body within Body” was born during the time of war. Every day for almost a year, we mobilize forces and are recruited by them in our body. Dressing and undressing ourselves in forms and uniforms, struggling to fight, daring to surrender. Personal questions have become national for quite some time.

While we are revealing life among ourselves, we are asking our body to tell us what it knows.

Raz Naveh
Israel
Nave is a dancer, creator, and performer engaged in improvisation, release, and contact-improvisation. She graduated from the "Pina" dancer-creator training program and will soon complete her BA at the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance, specializing in choreography. Naveh practices improvisation as a way of creating and as an approach to reality, observing movement as the sculpting of the body. She seeks to expose the encounter between different and changing human materials and investigates how we move in space, act within it, and react to each other. As a dancer, she worked with choreographer Orly Portal, and as a creator and performer, she performed at “Machol Shalem Dance House Jerusalem” and “Amiad Center” Art Gallery in Jaffa. Her creation and performance of a solo work won first place at the 2024 Gertrud Kraus competition.
