​

Anat explores the mystery and potentiality of collaboration as an art- form, in search of opening a broad zone of an "in-between" as a space for dialogue: merging languages, coexistence of differences, flow of responses to the unseen forces within body and environment.  She strives to acknowledge the new opportunity and materiality for each collaboration, and navigate the tension between movement and sound as juxtaposition in simultaneous realities.

Aesthetic characteristics of reducing, of silence and stillness come from the nature of the practice, and are reflected in the work, as well as a simple mindful presence, and a deep love to the experience of Dance.
