Initiated by Guy Bernard Reichmann and led by CCA Tel Aviv-Yafo Operations Manager Amy Sapan, alongside Content and Press Manager Shahar Mizrahi, “out-of-office” is a series of events presented in the Marc Schimmel Multipurpose Gallery. Focused on time-based practices such as video, dance, and performance, and in line with the multidisciplinary mission of the Center, “o-o-o” was conceived to nurture the domestic creative scene.

The performance by dancers Nadav Sharon and Talia Barda, life and creative partners, consists of a collaborative evening: a duet choreographed by Nadav, a duet choreographed by Talia. Drowning Hazard for Fantasies (2023) by Nadav Sharon is a fantasy about a deeper connection with nature, about being a mermaid. The gap between the dreamy underwater world and the human attempt to conquer the sea, creating stable structures amidst the stormy waves. Woven (2024) by Talia Barda is a dream of ideal love but also a clash between fantasy and reality. The show examines the role of gender norms and plays with the existing tension between the sexes.

Drowning Hazard for Fantasies premiered at the Kelim Choreography Center, Bat Yam, and was created as part of the Re-Search workshop for dancer-creators, under the artistic guidance of Or Marin. Woven premiered at Intimadance Festival 2024, under the artistic guidance of Niv Sheinfeld and Oren Laor.
