The EWMN Center

Eshkol-Wachman Movement Notation is a thinking tool that can teach people the art of observation, i.e. encourage them to aspire for the ultimate level of seeing. It does so by organizing the 'material' known as movements of the human body in relatively simple categories, thereby allowing us an insight (in-sight) into the complexity of this phenomenon as a whole."

EWMN Center is housed at Noa Eshkol's home in Holon, Israel. Two institutes are working in collaboration in it:
