About Novo
Insightful work.
danceTabs, Josephine Leask
Rubinstein is clearly a very intelligent, inquisitive person. And she, with her collaborators, creates apparent atmosphere in lots of ways.
Gramilano, Matthew Paluch
In Novo, artists Sivan Rubinstein and Liran Donin communicate through dance and music to explore our lifelong, unique relationships with our bodies, and our bodies’ place in the natural world. Drawing inspiration from yogic philosophy and practice, Novo takes us on a personal and collective journey from head to toe, from past to present, and from beginning to end.
