Abstract: "NOGA SYKSNIVARTS" is a non-literal dance in which kinetic qualities and design are the main materials developed in the work. The music used was Stravinsky's Agon. The natural division of the music fell into twelve sections, thus the work was composed into these twelve sections. The sections are contrasted to each other with kinetic qualities and design, and also in the relationships established in the different groupings of people in various sections. The work employs both ballet and modern technique, thus is ballet nor modern, but a dance in which a rich wealth of movement is at the hands of the choreographer. The work is performed by eight dancers: four males, four females. The costumes used in the work were abstractions of the human rib cage. The color scheme used in the costumes were: three in red on yellow, three in black on brown, and two in brown on orange.
