A system for the creation of artistic (or non artistic) expressions out of joy! (joy is key :-)
★ Theatrical exercises that stimulates and increases the expression of your body, using words, in all kinds of
ways and dynamics... or, no words, just thoughts and feelings within, expressing. Either way, be in control of

*Two hours straight per class (longer, in case of an intensive workshop), intimate environment, comfortable
clothing and accompanied by music (israeli if you wish :-).
All that really matters is that each person will work with his/her own abilities and make his/her own
progress.
This workshop can be adapted to companies (all fields) who wish to provide a creative break to their
employees, to independently organized groups (all ages), and even to one on one sessions (as personal
training form).
Mixed working groups are recommended!
Directions are usually in English, accompanied by an experienced spanish translator. But in the case of
requesting Hebrew practice by the participants, we will do so, and dive together into a fresh way of learning.
Yeah!

“His works indicates his persistence and diligence, his curiosity and his deep investigation of the world that
surrounds him. His new piece “Just Air/No hands” is a choreographic perl which is engraved deeply in the
heart of the viewers.... An exceptional and remarkable creator and performer, with a rich and inflaming inner
world and with a clear and accurate saying....”
The Juries for the “Ministry of Culture Prize” - for upcoming choreographers, Israel, 2002, 2004.
”... this is an indication, that strength and struggle should be on stage with all you have to offer. And so...
with blood and suffer and a frantic smile, he somehow makes me want to dance!... that's realness...
Shlomi's work is very real, it is just happening...”
Esther Vrubel - creator, performer and pedagog... Denmark, Israel.
“Shlomi Bitton impressed the jury of critics at the 18th International Competition of Choreographers at
Hannover, Germany 2004 by his special and sensitive movement-vocabulary as well as the original choice
of the snappy jazzy music. In the title of his piece „No Hands“ there is already a touch of irony and humor,
because his choreography deals with playful hand gestures and mirrors a kind of magnetism between the
two dancers Bitton and Lilli Ladin, who cannot resist to touch each other with their hands and arms. Bitton
seems to act very carelessly, but is at the same time a sophisticated and very present performer. His dance
has the lightness and surprising turning points of improvisation, but it is choreographed very precisely and
to the point, develops a subtile wit while watching the fears and the alternating between desire, feelings
and intellectual thoughts at the beginning of a (sexual) relationship between a man and a woman”.
Klaus Witzeling for the jury (the 18th International Competition of Choreographers at), Hannover,
Germany.
“...With a very personal, strange, magical, choreographic and body language, Shlomi Bitton tells in an
intimate way, the crazy story of everyday, maybe, certainly, in Israel, in the world. Extremely delicate,
descriptive, the movements of the arms, hands and torso tell an ironical, tragic, hopeful story, with the
simplicity of a pilgrim of the spirit. Shlomi has an enormous charisma, made of humility, of light.”
