Eldar Baruch | 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰 & 𝗣𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝘀

An Intimate Performance with Renata Sheppard & Eldar Baruch - Three evenings live at Gallery 198. Join us for an intimate evening performance with New York–based choreographer Renata Sheppard and musician/composer Eldar Baruch, along with dancers Brianna Lopez & Noam Carmeli, sharing a new work-in-progress that merges live movement, drawing, and sound. Sheppard’s kinetic drawings expand the idea of dance beyond the body into visual form. During performance, choreography becomes a tool for mark-making: the dancer moves across paper with charcoal, generating large-scale drawings in real time. These drawings function as both visual artifacts and choreographic scores-traces of movement that remain after the performance ends. Afterward, select sections of these delicate works are preserved through a bespoke resin process, transforming them into lasting visual art. The choreography itself draws from conceptual systems-procedural algorithms, if/then sequencing, decision theory, and mathematical structures such as Fibonacci sequences and particle acceleration-creating patterns that translate physical movement into visual composition. Through this practice, dance transcends its ephemeral nature. Sheppard’s work connects choreography with mathematics, physics, digital technologies, and interactive systems, inviting audiences to witness how movement can generate form, structure, and image.

Looping Emotions: Attentive listening supported by Yugami A workshop by Eldar Baruch, Tokyo @eldarbar 【Looping Emotionsについて】 「Looping Emotions」は、音を通して “聴くこと・表現すること・つながること”を探る没入型ワークショップです。 注意深く耳を澄ますことで、音を身体で感じ、そのトーンや質感、そして「静けさ」がどのように内側で響くのかを体験していきます。そこから、感情や記憶、意味の層が立ち上がってきます。 アコースティックと電子的な要素を用いたループ制作を通して、内なる感覚と創造的なアウトプットのあいだに、繊細で意識的なつながりを育みます。 感情や偶然の出来事が音へと変換されていく中で、この場は「立ち止まり、聴き、つながる」ための空間へと変わります。 自分自身と、そして他者と。 【日時】 2026年4月11日(土) 13:00-16:30 ＊途中休憩あり 【会場】 世田谷区内施設(DMでお問い合わせください) 【対象】 どなたでもご参加いただけます。 アーティストの方、初めての方、 創造的なつながりを深めたいすべての方へ。 音楽や技術の経験は必要ありません。 【持ち物】 ・スマートフォン（必須） ・マイク付きイヤホン（必須） ・ノートとペン（クレヨンでも可） ・動きやすい服装 ・横になれる薄手の布やスカーフ 【価格】 3,000円 【プロフィール】 Eldar Baruch（エルダー・バルーク）は、作曲家／サウンドデザイナー／ライブパフォーマー。 コンテンポラリーダンス、演劇、ダンスフィルム、ビデオアートなど、多様な分野を横断して活動している。 メロディックなピアノ、シンセサイザー、有機的なサウンドスケープ、ビート、トイサウンドを織り交ぜた音楽性が特徴。 サイトスペシフィック作品や即興ダンス、コンタクト・インプロヴィゼーションにおけるライブ演奏を得意とし、「今この瞬間の在り方」「聴くこと」「リアルタイムの創造」にフォーカスしている。 これまでに、「Had My Mouth」（Out-FRONT!

Wearable sculpture exists somewhere between atmosphere, fashion and ritual. The human form is grounded and ethereal at the same time. Embodied and transformed, are we entering era of the past or memories from the future? Let’s stay here in the present.

Excited to perform live and share my new soundtrack for 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗲𝘁, this Thursday, 8.1.26, at 20:30, Suzanne Dellal Centre (Zahava). Choreography: Tali Zavilevich Dancers: Ronnie Heller & Tali Zavilevich ~~~~~~ Mindset A dance duet exploring walking, direction, and intention. By examining the body’s relationship with space and sharpening our awareness of how deeply we are dependent on our surroundings, the simple, everyday act of walking transforms into something poetic and intriguing. This dance develops a new movement language based on diagonals, revealing the effects of directional disruptions and asymmetry. The lack of symmetry uncovers hidden and forgotten aspects of life’s diagonals. At the start of the event, the audience is invited to participate in an engaging, experiential exploration of walking, offering an opportunity for active viewing and deeper immersion in the performance. @talizavilevich @ronnie_heller_dance_theater @suzanne_dellal_centre

Excited to return to Fou Gallery @fougallery (NYC) on April 26th at 7pm, with my workshop “Looping Emotions” – an experience of attentive listening, sound, and live looping. You’re warmly invited to join! Link in bio for info & registration. —— Date & Time: Saturday, April 26, 2025, 7:00–9:00PM *Please bring your phone, earphones with a microphone, a notebook and pen (or crayons), and wear comfortable clothes. You’re also welcome to bring a light fabric or scarf to lie on the floor. Fou Gallery: “In this immersive sound-based workshop, artist and musician Eldar Baruch guides participants through a meditative journey of attentive listening, creative expression, and collaborative connection. Using both acoustic and electronic tools, participants engage in hands-on looping experiments that begin with personal introspection and gradually unfold into shared sonic creation. Grounded in the practice of deep listening - as inner emotions are translated into sounds - participants are invited to explore the mindful interplay between their internal world and collective resonance, while reflecting, exploring, and playing with everyday soundscapes. Open to artists and the wider community, this workshop offers a space to pause, listen, and connect - within and beyond.” ✿ Art in the 2nd photo by @sabafarhoudnia #LoopingEmotions #FouGallery #NYCWorkshops #LiveLooping #SoundExperience”
