See Her Change

SEE HER CHANGE is a physical and mental journey performed by Godder alongside two of her longtime collaborators Dalia Chaimsky and Shuli Enosh. Juxtaposing private experience with stage persona, the performance prompts questions of age and ageing, social functions and gender representations. Multitude of self-mockery scenarios suggests diverse interpretations of the altered female character. Mixing, matching and overlaying body postures, sounds and movements, the performers are constantly de-contextualizing their roles and personalities. All three playfully expose a rare sense of vulnerability, while also seeking safe haven through means of disguise. A choreography of unexpected interactions and compositions manifests different notions of 'femaleness'. From glamorous to pathetic, from dangerously stimulating acts to childlike manner, a multi-faceted portrait is brought to stage. Skillfully maneuvering from the distressed to the overwhelmed it stimulates new associations regarding performativity, memory, and humor. Candid yet fierce and vigorous the performance entangles the viewer into an uncanny state. By constructing a web of intense sensory stimulation, Godder and her collaborators entice us into facing innate inhibitions and primal perceptions.  

SEE HER CHANGE is a co-production of Montpellier Danse 2013, France, and Centro per la Scena Contemporanea, in Bassano del Grappa, Italy. The new creation enjoy the support of the Israel Lottery Council for Culture & Arts

"a manifest not as much for feminism but rather for femininity. A dance on a tight rope passing through solos of stunning and reversing beauty. The work of the arms, the assumed subjectivity, everything here makes sense. Godder reassures her engagement. We hope to see her back here or there. Very quickly".  (LES INROCKUPTIBLES in regards to SEE HER CHANGE in Montepllier Danse)

"The Female Universe of Godder's dance.... is a triple  weaving of bodies, animated by a very researched dance, theatrical and dynamic, which brings an erotic component with an aggressive and seductive character to its audience.'' (il Messaggero) 

"Run, don't walk, to see Yasmeen Godder's new work" (Ayelet Dekel, Midnighteast)

"A dramatic dance: exposed, fascinating and highly recommended!" (Maya Nahum Shahal, Calcalist)

"Polished meticulously, down to the smallest detail" (Ora Brafman, The Jerusalem Post)

"a sub-genre in the international dance community, inspiring hordes of choreographers to forgo beauty in favor of poignant honesty. As a performer, Godder is able to strike a perfect balance between fearless aggression and ladylike poise. (Ori j. Lenkinski, The Jerusalem post)
