Yasmeen Godder has been one of the most important representatives of Israeli dance scene for over 20 years. Her choreographies are often created in response to issues of coexistence and are moving due to their precise yet expressive power. In 2019, Godder began working on the “Practicing Empathy” series, a performative research project that has given rise to various event formats and explores the concept of empathy from different perspectives. With “Practicing Empathy #3”, Yasmeen Godder created a full-length solo for herself in 2021. Influenced by Godder's experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, it has lost none of its relevance to this day. The choreography unfolds as a testimony to isolation, limitation and inner discoveries. How do we meet others, how do we connect emotionally and how do we take care of ourselves?
