Noa Eshkol (born February 28, 1924 in Kibbutz Degania B , Palestine ; † October 14, 2007 in Cholon , Israel ) was an Israeli dancer, dance teacher and artist.

Life

Noa Eshkol was the daughter of Levi Eshkol , who emigrated to Palestine in 1914 and became an important politician there, from his first marriage to Rivka Maharshek.

Eshkol studied dance from 1943 to 1945 at the “Tehila Ressler School” in Tel Aviv and from 1946 to 1948 with Rudolf Laban and Lisa Ullmann at the “Art of Movement Studio” in Manchester . In London she attended the "Sigurd Leeder School of Modern Dance". In 1954, together with her husband, the architect Avraham Wachman, she developed and coded the Eshkol-Wachmann notation system for dance and founded the “Chamber Dance Group” in Cholon, which she directed until 1993. She danced her minimalist dance style in Israel and at festivals abroad, including the Festival dei due mondi in Spoleto .

In 1972 she founded the Research Center for Movement Notation at Tel Aviv University and in 1984 organized the first international conference for movement notation there.

Eshkol has taught at the Cameri Theater Drama School in Tel Aviv, the Beit Zvi in Ramat Gan , at the dance faculty of the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance and at the Kibbutzim College of Education in Tel Aviv. At the University of Tel Aviv , she was 1972-1990 Professor in the Faculty of visual and performierende arts. In 1968 she had a visiting professor at the University of Illinois at Springfield .

When the dancers were drafted into their group during the Yom Kippur War in 1973 , they began to make tapestries from found scraps of fabric; the Noa Eshkol Foundation in Cholon houses five hundred copies.

The photographer Sharon Lockhart has been installing photos and films about Eshkol's choreographies with dancers from Eshkol's dance troupe at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem , the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and in 2013 at the Jewish Museum in New York City . An exhibition of her artistic works under the title Noa Eshkol: Wall Carpets was also shown in the Opelvillen in Rüsselsheim in 2013/14 .
