French of an Israeli origin, born in 1981.
She spent her childhood between two extremes; the desert bordering the Red Sea, and the northern forests along the icy lakes. This double culture provided her an acute vision of the infinite variations of forms and movements in the nature, and during her life, into the dance researches she was able to integrate these elements into a creative and unique body language.
For her dance is modulations of the flux, oneness with the "movements of the world" .
She considers the body as a junction where the flux traverse and initiate the dancing body.
From early age , she integrated elements gathered during her quest for dance; an organic and fluid body language along with contemporary and classical dance features, merging thrilling delicacy and captivating strength. She gleams with a dramatic and emotional intensity.
"My earliest inspirations as a child who loved dancing, were coming from my undersea observations and experience , undolatory movements, profound silence, ambient weightlessness, colors and tactile perceptions of space and being. The contracted and loosened movements of the jelly - fish, and theie "an-jellyic way of being" that has change my life forever.
This world is a part of me, of my quest and inspirations, and part of the vision I have of what dance is about.’’
Tazrimim, a dance conception by Daniell Alnuma
Tazrim (flux or flowing in Hebrew) recalls the Arabic "Taksime", a word used in music to signify the act of improvising, or in other words, modulating the musical flux.
As such, dancing is the modulation of the flux that is passing through the dancing body, including the emotional flux that gives the dramatic intensity to the dance.
From the same point of view one can say that classical dance tends to gather the flux vertically, contemporary dance tends to spread Them horizontally, oriental dance tends to bring them in a movable and circular interior.
This dance is at the crossroads of this three kinds.
Tazrimim is a quest for decentered, undulatory and liquid dance. Inspired from observation mouvements in the nature and undersea life, Daniell develops her personal features and body language claiming that " dancing is a singing body".
Dance is the art of the poetic movement, the art of mastering the flow, the momentum and the intensity.
Dance is a bridge between imagination and expression in the flue of time.
It is to give a body, a visible and legible form to that which is invisible.
It is to formulate otherwise inexpressible things, to express and to share beyond the everyday language.
To dance is to transform, to create a world apart, to create in every instant.
Dance is a state of contemplation, concentration, consciousness and emergence, presence and ecstasy, a forgotten to recall.
To dance is to know how to channel, transform and bifurcate the state of being through the body.
The dancer becomes an instrument that receives the fluxes of the world, a junction where the fluxes of the world traverse and take on a body.
To dance is to be available at every moment, to be attentive, to receive, to feel, to transform and to give.
A muscular boomerang that circulates between the interior and exterior spaces. Receive and spread.
Dance is perpetual - ephemeral - immortal, it is the mastering of the moment.
The dancer is the one who unifies his or her body and spirit into a singing motion.
