Sharon Fridman needs a reverential aside. I dare to speak of creative genius.
- VíCTOR BURELL, ETER
"For us, dance is a different system of communication, it's an unknown space that offers us other ways of being," is how the promising Israeli dancer and choreographer Sharon Fridman describes the philosophy of his company, Projects in Movement. The Israeli folklore, contemporary dance and classical ballet that he studied in the Ein Shemer Conservatory shape the artistic coordinates of this young talent who has already demonstrated the strength and vitality of his creativity as assistant artistic director of Mayumana, with whom he enjoyed three tours, and his work for the internationally recognized Suzanne Dellal Center in Tel Aviv and the University of Jerusalem.
The work which he now presents, for two dancers and an actor (who he spent months searching for on the Internet via the social networks) is a co-production of the Festival de Otoño en primavera with the support of the Centro Coreográfico La Gomera and the Centro de Danza Canal. Sharon Fridman, who has been living in Spain since 2006 and was a prizewinner in the Certamen Coreográfico de Madrid dance competition, summarises the objective of Al menos dos caras: "The main objectives of our work are investigation, learning and physical language development and, through this research, the creation of a virtual space where the public can see, feel and imagine."
For Al menos dos caras, Fridman is accompanied by Arthur Bernard Basin, winner of the Málaga Crea e Injuve 2009 awards.
