Keren Levi since 2004, Keren Levi (1972, Israel) has built an international profile as a choreographer with a body of work including “Territory” (2004/NL) about identity and framing, in collaboration with musician Tom Parkinson and media artist Tammuz Binshtock, which won them BNG award, and the duet “Couple-Like” (2006 NL/ BE), in collaboration with Belgian maker Ugo Dehaes. In 2007 Levi was invited by Tala, a Zagreb based production house to make “Out of Service”, a performance about the gesture of performing, together with a local Croatian cast. Later that year she created “The Prize Piece”, from and about the award-commission which was given to her for “Territory”. In 2009 Levi made and performed “Big Mouth”, together with Israelis makers Oren Laor and Niv Sheinfeld, which was followed by “Couple-Like # 2”, another collaboration with Deheas and a winner of the Dutch prestige Silver Cricket award for 2011. Together with Parkinson, Levi made “Envelopes”, a performance about kin relation between siblings and between music, and dance, which premiered in Spring Dance Festival Utrecht, 2010. In 2012, Levi made the video-dance performance “The Dry Piece” which opened in Festival a/d Werf and won the Dioraphte Award from De Nederlandse Dansdagen 2013. On that year she collaborated again with Parkinson in the creation of “To Band”, a music-dance concert, which premiered in Breakin’walls Festival, Frascati Theatre, Amsterdam. Her new creation “Clubbing”, which continues the long term exchange with Parkinson, premiered in March 2015.

Levi teaches contemporary dance technique, body-work and choreography in The School for New Dance Development (SNDO) and in The Modern Dance Department in The School for Performing Arts Amsterdam (AHK), as well as in festivals, training programs and companies across Europe. She has recently graduated from the MA program of Amsterdam Master of Choreography (AMCh).
