Discription
The Mechanical dance technique is choreographer Nuha's last method of physical approach, which came as an approach and form in the last world premiere after the artistic residency in Jerusalem, at the JISDF festival last year!
This technique is based on the daily ritual of body movement and from that form comes the maximum of physical and interpretative exploration, enabling the dancers to create a new choreographic element expressing new research.
