FROM THE PRESS

ON 'CHAPTERS OF JOY'

"In front of the orderly pattern of the musical score, the choreography emerges as a growing burst of loose and playful movement that celebrates the liveliness of the present, in which the dancers seem to voluntarily lose themselves in the inertia of the dance"

ON 'BODY #1'

"Chadash manages to find a poetic  expression for the built-in second that Obidius points to - the one that contains the two, the 'apart' within the 'together'"

ON 'BODY #1'

"Her current work' 'Body #1', is performed by two strong and flexible dancers.. It takes some time before the amazing body in its twists and turns turns out to be a close connection between the two, the percentages of each other as a pair of reptiles."

ON 'ME & ALL OF THAT BODY'

"And the bizarre beauty of this expressive, twisting, gushing body that exudes rage and yearning sweeps us to try and understand this mystery of the body - an endless and simultaneous archive, the absolute repository"

ON 'ME & ALL OF THAT BODY'

"As a result, the organizing principle of the movement seems to be the observation of a new inward into the musculoskeletal system of her body, and a deep listening to the motives that arise from it and form into physical action." 

ON 'GOOFY'

"Chadash keeps the rhythm of her original idea perfectly"

ON 'ME & ALL OF THAT BODY'

"Another dancer that easily kept the audience on their toes was Roni Chadash with her new solo, a new chapter in her ongoing quest to decipher the mystery of her own body.. she developed an original somatic language, using her impressive flexibility to activate and manipulate her own performing moves, 

ON 'ME & ALL OF THAT BODY'

"Chadash is endowed with extraordinary flexibility, which allows her to invent new and unimagined ways to move. In an impressive display of physical intelligence, performed with a rare combination of skill, confidence and modesty,  Chadash moves along the length and breadth of the stage.."

ON 'ME & ALL OF THAT BODY'

"Undoubtedly, as a creator as well as a performer, she has something special, personal and original to offer the audience, who are eager for her challenging body insights"

ON 'VICTIMS & IMAGES'

"Both dancers have impressive control of their bodies and Hadash’s curious, highly distinctive body’s perception had already produced original characteristics consistently, which sets her apart from any of her contemporaries."

ON 'VICTIMS & IMAGES'

"The success of this piece is in keeping the tension between extremely funny moments and a critical statement"  

ON 'VICTIMS & IMAGES'

"Fascinating work, in which every details is truly taken care of.. 

performed with great talent and grace"

ON 'VICTIMS & IMAGES'

"A concealment tactic of female self-assertion, in which one can see wonderfully that tenderness has nothing to do with weakness and filigree does not necessarily have to do with frailty."

ON 'VICTIMS & IMAGES'

"Once again Chadash is bringing to stage a concentrated and precise movement research"

ON 'VICTIMS & IMAGES'

"A celebration of stunning form transformation"

ON 'GOOFY'

"that cheeky young-woman radiance of vague Sylvia Plath flair, highest present, modern and sophisticated – right down to the Chadash familiar revolt of body parts."

ON 'GOOFY'

"Chadash brings the dance back to the initial wonder of being inside a body and the awkward, wonderful, tortured, funny intimacy of a creature / man / woman with her own body. She does not let go of this existential question. What to do with all of this body?"

ON 'GOOFY' & 'ANI-MA'

"Chadash's solo achieves to get to the essence of movement and great clarity, and there is something refreshing about it, not trying to fill the void with movement. The fact the despite the intimacy, she does not reach to eros and fervor, keeps her creation full of secrets"

ON 'GOOFY' & 'ANI-MA'

"I left the theater totally amazed in front of a dance performance, which was at the same time idiosyncratic, introvert, enigmatic, strange and tormented"

ON 'GOOFY' & 'ANI-MA'

"Her stage presence is intriguing and fascinating, not only because of the high level of her performance and precision, but also due to the artistic choices that led Chadash to create an original movement field of her own"

ON 'GOOFY' & 'NO BODY'

"These two pieces by Israeli dancer-choreographer Roni Chadash were the most concise and potent dance performances I've seen in years."

"Chadash's choreography was intelligent and visually arresting. And she's an artist who dares to be tough with her audience."

ON 'NO-BODY'

"Her works are fascinatingly spectacular and technically perfect... she is a choreographer-analyst and dancer-researcher, who studied the body far and wide and composed her own, unknown technique of owning this crazy body. When the muscles turn off, the bones disappear, only a mass resembling a dough remains."

ON 'NO-BODY'

"Chadash manages to tell a story full of emotions by setting a new perspective of the viewer.. such a simple way that allows to perceive the body and movement differently."

ON 'ANI-MA'

"Chadash has created fascinating images.. and she does so in a fluid continuous movement and powerful flexibility"
