Yael Davids (1968) examines the capacities in which the body operates as a documentary vessel. She studies how collective heritage and socially charged narratives become intertwined with the individual’s biography and sensibilities, surmounting to an experiencing of the concrete world that is defined by unique finitude. Her work often consists of performances, script writing and exhibition making in which the human body plays a central part.
Davids studied visual arts at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, sculpture at the Pratt Institute in New York and choreography and dance education at the Remscheid Akademie in Remscheid. Education for Feldenkrais practitioner she achieved at International Feldenkrais training education, Neve-Shalom, Istituto di formazione Feldenkrais, Feldenkrais - Awareness Through Movement, Milano, Amsterdam International Feldenkrais® Teacher Training.
