Elective course for Second year
Kineret Haya Max
Kineret Haya Max is a performance artist. Her works respond directly to reality, presenting performance as a process and a junction of actions and relationships in a situation common to the audience and the performer. After completing her studies at the School of Visual Theater in 2007, she joined the "Bamat Meitzag" ensemble. Her works have been presented in gallery spaces, public spaces, and theaters. Between 2016-2019, she led performance studies at "Bamat Meitzag," and since 2016, she has been a lecturer at the Musrara School of Art and Society. Kineret holds a bachelor's degree in education and a master's degree in art from the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design.
The creator and the creative act are like a song and its lyrics, each sustaining the other. We will examine how each encounter between them is poetic, as much as it is an action. In a class that deals with performance art, we will look at ourselves as human documents, allowing the idea that “everything is already here” to act on us as a directive and as a mechanism for creation. This will be done through desk work and practical exercises that include words, dialogue, training, and presentation of exercises.
