A PRIVATE COLLECTION
This new work takes the audience on a multi-layered, visually luscious journey.
It took a collection of devoted artists working in diverse art forms to bring Friedlands rich array of ideas to fruition.
Deborah Friedes, The Jerusalem Post
The Dancers are Excellent. Sally-Anne's dance language is flowing and pleasant to watch ... A product of intensive research... Humor always adds an edge to a dance piece ... A successful attempt to say things differently.
Tami Katz Luria
BORDERS
I enjoyed parsing the symbolism and imagistic allusions in Ms. Friedland's work.
[She is] certainly versed in the cynicism, burlesque, and nihilism of Dadaist cabaret and Brechtian theater.
[The] dancers are technically skilled and gifted with a vivid sense of theatricality and irony.
Ms. Friedland knows how to populate and animate space.
Joel Lobenthal, The New York Sun
RED
[Red] unravels the complex sensitivity of women
Artzin Newspaper, Seoul, South Korea
A cheerful piece treats dance as a clever outlet for serious fun, with a great measure of imagination.

Claudia La Rocco, The New York Times
Reminds one of the films of Fellini and Almodovar, by touching on the fringes of the grotesque in a womans existence.

Dancer/choreographer Sally-Anne Friedland is an independent soul, she goes her own way, creating imaginative, sophisticated and witty pieces.
Helen Kay, The Jerusalem Post
Once in a while, an artist produces a small miracle on stage [and] gives people a chance to achieve a sudden feeling of understanding and purity.
Amazing!
The work of Friedland is full of rich, captivating imagination.
The plastic transparency together with the wonderful music creates moments of magic

Artistic Director
Sally-Anne Friedland is an acclaimed Israeli choreographer, dancer and teacher. She was trained in the Royal Academy of Dance school of classical ballet, and began her dancing carreer with the CAPAB ballet company, in her native Capetown, South Africa. Later she performed for several years in European dance companies, and after moving to Israel, with the Bat Dor and Bat Sheva dance companies.
Following that Mrs. Friedland embarked on a solo dancing career, winning numerous prizes in Israel and abroad, including the prestigious Kinor David Dancer of the Year (1985).
As a choreographer, Mrs. Friedland created her first full-length work, Dov Hoz 19 , in 1990, followed by many other works, and by choreographies for the Theater and Opera.
In 2002 Mrs. Friedland founded DDC - Dance Drama Company , where she serves as Artistic Director, and for which she created many dance works , performing throughout Israel and in dance festivals abroad: Paris (France), Sweden, Lithuania, Poland, New York, Atlanta (Georgia), Ecuador, South Korea, Colombia.
She also created for DDC three successful children shows , in collaboration with other theater companies.
Mrs. Friedland serves often as judge for different dance competitions, and sat on the panel of judges for a season of Dancing with the Stars (the Israeli version of the popular TV show Strictly Come Dancing).

Includes three sections:
Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.

Based on a short piece commissioned in 2006 by the 92nd Street Harkness Dance Festival, New York at the new Alvin Ailey Dance Center
Music: Philip Glass, Schubert, Full Metal Jacket, Kill Bill, Hughes Le Bars, Les Claypool
Lighting: Shy Yehudai Costumes: Sasson Kedem Sets: Paula Miodownik
Closely based on Borders, the final section, "Tomorrow," moves away from the parody of "Today" into a more elevated realm. Friedland reveals that long curtains of tulle "stand like bars on the stage" and provide privacy for each dancer. These curtains eventually lift, reflecting the choreographer's own optimism. Friedland explains, "My hope is that everybody's borders, whether they're international borders or private borders, are respected and accepted, and there's an open space, free for everybody."
It took a collection of devoted artists working in diverse art forms to bring Friedland's rich array of ideas to fruition. "It's not a one man show," the choreographer gratefully acknowledges. For this production, Friedland worked with six gifted dancers from her Dance Drama Company and also enlisted the talents of costumer Sasson Kedem, set designer Paula Miovdovnik and lighting designer Shai Yehudai to create her visual effects. Sound designer Shashoo developed an eclectic score blending Franz Schubert and Philip Glass's compositions along with music from the movies Kill Bill and Full Metal Jacket.
Friedland [says:] "I hope that my message is positive, and that each person will find their own private collection in this work and be able to identify with the work. Especially in the part of the necessity of intimacy and privacy."
By DEBORAH FRIEDES
The Jerusalem Post, 17 July 2009
When choreographer Sally-Anne Friedland was commissioned to make a work for her visit to the Alvin Ailey Citigroup Theatre in New York City, she created a short dance called Borders. "It was like an unfinished symphony," Friedland explains, "I knew I would come back to it one day."
Three years later, Borders has become what Friedland calls the "cornerstone" of her latest creation. Like its predecessor, A Private Collection investigates "intimate borders, personal borders, how far we can go and what we need for protection."
But this new work goes deeper, with three sections that take the audience on a multi-layered, visually luscious journey. Opening with dancers spread across the floor in frozen positions and covered with pastel-colored sheets of tulle, "Yesterday" conveys the sense that something has already happened. The dancers soon come alive, cleverly manipulating the nets to become bustles or bridal veils.
In "Today," the middle section, Friedland provides an often humorous take on life through a series of situations. One duo dons gloves to box each other, three dancers portray sisters and another dancer acts like "a bride running around, looking a bit like Miss Havisham from Dickens."
