Mirror Mirror – tell me please

Rina Schenfeld

Israel

In a new, personal work, Rina Schenfeld revisits the image of metal she used in her early creations, exploring it with a mature and contemporary view. The solo blends movement, voice, and drumming on metal, which becomes a layered symbol of covering, resonance, reflection, protection, and sound.

Through a solo of voice, rhythm, body, and memory-combining material and spirit, simplicity and emotional depth-the piece echoes a fragment of Israel’s personal contemporary dance history through an intimate, feminine lens.

What is needed to release the past, move forward, and dance the present?.. I’m walking on soft earth, gathering memories in my feet, and sounding my voice with my mouth and with metal. Discovering in the mirror the essence within me and the light that guides my path…” – Rina Schenfeld
