"BMC gave me a raw experience of human nature that I never got in
dance technique or art classes. BMC helped me not only to know
myself but to trust myself as an artist."

"When I reached a certain level of dancing, I felt the necessity to look
for something beyond my profession, beyond skills and virtuosity. In me
grew the desire to explore the inside of my movement, of the movements
of others, of movement itself. I wanted to discover its origins and
destinations, its axes and balance centers. So I chose to study BMC."

"The deeper I breathed in the principles of somatic exploration, the more
I exhaled my holding of movement as dance performance. My first
'BMC-influenced' dances were clumsy and didactic, too tied to the
material, too self-conscious and impersonal. When I relaxed that holding,
my dances became more personal, more elemental. Now I have let go of
making dances entirely and dedicate my research to the dance of awareness
and attention within my body—a continuing performance/dialogue of being.
I feel free."

"Our experiences are inhabited in our bodies. This consciousness training
that BMC gives us helps us explore with courage the truth. In my work a
truthful inner core is in perpetual union with society. The theater becomes
a sanctuary and an audience becomes a sacred congregation. My life work
is influenced by the Holocaust, the birth of the state of Israel, and the
commitment to the sacred beneath all religious divisions. I am always
looking for a fusion of ancestral heritage and social action."

"My dance making is fundamentally based in Body-Mind Centering.
As Touchdown Dance is a company of blind, visually impaired and
sighted dancers, we perceive each other in space through sensory
pathways and compositional directions (scores) that create the frame.
We work with sight as the least important sense emphasizing instead,
through contact improvisation, the vestibular system, touch and hearing."
