Elik Niv Born in western Galilee on the northern border, an injury in the army sent me to path of physical rehabilitation and movement research & to Dance studies at the Dance Workshop in Gaston managed by Yehudit Arnon. My attraction was towards creations which involved dancers as a creation partner/researcher. In Europe I have danced with some of the leading multidisciplinary companies where I first met the mix of theater/dance/live music/visual arts in one stage piece. former Ensemble member at Berliner Schubune & present member of the Belgium Needcompany, artistic director – Jan Lauweras.

Choreographically my focuses are Multidisciplinary & painting of a research topic via their personal stories & lifes of the ensemble members. My physical research is based danc etechniques as well as any other technical opportunity which exist in the cast.

In 2021 my work with the director Juliette Navis was nominated for best work, Avignon festival.
