After a great 70th birthday party, Miriam and I flew to Amsterdam to
see our daughter Abigail’s 2nd year final choreography project
at the SNDO of De Theaterschool.
The concentrated intensity and imaginative performances of these young
men and women was an exciting and stimulating
experience, which motivated me to start this One Voice venture.
I became involved with the inner momentum and dynamics manifested in their
movement and time sense, and my approach became an attempt to project the
vivid images and feelings that these wonderful young dancers and choreographers
gave me.
A Quiet Place for Mr. K.K. relates to a psychotic King Kong living in
our now world, where brutality has become a way of life and fragile fragments
of joy alleviate a terrifying sense of sadness.
I thank Mark Smulian for loving my “dirty” way of playing
and taking me through this recording, leaving the clicks, puffs, and
muffs to be part of it all.
I want to thank Yosi Akshoti for planting the original idea into my
head, Dror Maayan for his photograph, and Titti Karma for graphic help.
