Sharon Helali Asa | In the Beginning and Longing

For details and purchase, four women join in a movement that is a sweeping blend of material - woman - yearning - prayer. A fusion of dance in a yearning for a primordial encounter, like the upper waters' longing for the lower waters. Fluidity, crystallization, salt mud, cracks, and images of a woman leading her way through yearning. A wall that transforms into a world, opening from projected video art of a woman forming with the materials of creation. Four women, religious and secular, with dance evolving from the raw to the human and the wondrous. Beyond the wall - beyond separation - and toward a world of possibilities, of primal light. Sharon Helali Asa is a choreographer and creator for stage and film, dance researcher, and teacher with over 30 years of experience. Head of the dance department at the Levinsky Wingate Academic Center and a member of the choreographers' association. Holds a Master's degree (M.A) in arts education and developed the 'Art of Movement' approach. Dance - healing - life. Her creations seek to touch society through art and create connections and communication through the language of dance. Among them are works that create Arab-Hebrew connections, between religious and secular, between human and nature, between dance art and the multidisciplinary gallery, and between dance and film.
