Avi Kaiser and Sergio Antonino are living and working in Israel since 2013, and have a rich experience in the field of dance with 20 group works and three duets performed throughout Europe, the US and Israel.
As from 2002 they have been directors of “The Roof -TanzRaum” a dance center in Duisburg, Germany where they are guest artists of the city and the DKM Museum for ancient and contemporary art.
Kaiser worked closely with Susanna Linke as a dancer and choreographer for 15 years.
He created works in Canada, the United States, Senegal, the Paris and Zurich Opera. The French Ministry of Culture awarded him the title of Professor of Contemporary Dance based on his international authority in this field.
Antonino was invited to create at the Venice Biennale, won the Sakharov Prize, and created several works for the prestigious Paolo Grassi National School in Milan. He received his master’s degree in the history of art at the University of La Sapienza in Rome.
In their works there is a strong emphasis on the place, the arena in which things take place. In recent years, a large part of their pieces has been done in and for public space, in cooperation with architects and photographers. One of their leading projects since 2009 is the duet “At Your Place” which brings the dance to the people’s home, to the school class, offices, or to any other possible space where an intimacy allows a different observation of the movement.
