ON Creation Space
Description
The ON Creation Space started as the ON Contemporary Circus Creation Center in 2008, at the same place where it is situated today. Between 2010 and 2020, it was the rehearsal space for the ON Company, directed by Orit Nevo.
It initially consisted of an 80 SM movement studio for the local community to practice Martial arts, Yoga classes, dance Classes, etc. It still functions like that, so weekly classes and occasional workshops take place mornings and evenings during the week.
Residents at the ON Creation Space can participate in weekly classes (payment is made directly to the teachers themselves). They are required to respect the space and other activities held in the studio.
The studio is at the residents’ disposal to work and create between classes.
Free Wifi is available all through the space, and writing can be done in the joint living space or in the sleeping units where there are writing spaces provided too.
There are two sleeping units that can accommodate up to two very close people in a twin bed.
Showers and toilets in a separate structure at a 2-3 meters distance.
The whole complex – Studio and residency space is situated in a private Garden with fruit trees and flowers, three chickens, and a dog. A big part of the garden is at the residents’ disposal.
The space is 15 minutes walk from a nature reserve and a beautiful wild beach.
There are bicycles at the residents’ disposal.
Artistic accompaniment is available from and in coordination with Orit for a very low price.
The residencies we offer vary in length and objective and can be divided into 3 types:
1. A writing residency that does not require the use of the studio – the easiest and most available. It is intended for writers of all kinds: Academics, Authors, Blog writers, and Artists in the writing phase of their work.
People can come here for 3 days to 3 months and do their writing in an enabling atmosphere where they can concentrate without disturbances and take nature outdoor walks to refresh their thinking and get back to work when they want.
2. Choreographic residencies – including writing and movement, dance, acrobatics, juggling, or others in the studio. This can also be for Yoga or martial arts teachers who need a retreat and work on a new course they are developing. Art and movement therapists etc. These need to be coordinated with other activities in the studio in advance. Expectations need to be clarified and met during the residency and agreed upon in advance. 3 day-3 months stays are possible depending on how long in advance the residency is scheduled.
3. Studio rehearsal choreographic residencies that do not require writing – but mostly require studio time – same as the 2nd type – need to be coordinated in advance and are limited in availability based on the occupancy of the studio and the residents’ expectations.
We have two sleeping units – one vintage caravan and a tree house, equipped with heating and air-conditioning, a bed, a small writing table/space, and a place for clothes/luggage. There is a joint kitchen for all residents (max 4 people at the same time) and a living, writing, and dining space communal for all residents. A separate shower and WC structure with two showers and two toilets.
The living quarters are situated in a garden with all-season fruit trees, a few meters’ distance from our movement studio. The studio is at the resident’s disposal when free of other regular activities.
Places are limited, inquiries directly to our email as long as possible in advance please.
