Taking its title from the relationship between sisters, Step Sister explores the emotional landscape where intimacy and conflict become inseparable. It inhabits the space between alliance and rivalry, care and violence, tenderness and survival, asking how these tensions can become the ground for artistic creatio. At the heart of the project are Arabic, Hebrew, Yiddish and German—not simply as spoken languages, but as carriers of identity, memory and history. Each holds its own emotional and political charge: trauma and guilt, violence and belonging, loss and desire, alongside the possibility of alliance, agency and shared imagination. Rather than treating language as a means of communication alone, Step Sister approaches it as a physical, emotional and political force that lives in the body and continuously shapes the ways we move, listen, speak and encounter one another. The workshop introduces participants to the creative practice developed by the three artists over more than a decade of collaboration. Bringing together choreography, text, vocal practice, music and martial arts, it explores the relationship between body, text and voice as an integrated field of creation. Martial arts are approached not as systems of combat but as embodied practices through which power, resistance, trust, balance, alliance and survival can be experienced, questioned and transformed. Through movement, vocal work, writing, improvisation and collective composition, participants develop performative tools that emerge from the continuous negotiation between body, language and movement, discovering how artistic form can grow from contradiction, complexity and emotional intensity.
