Between straits

Avi Kaiser and Sergio Antonino are living and working in Israel since 2013, and have a rich experience in the field of dance with group works and 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 modern sculpture museum Lehmbruck. Kaiser worked closely with SusanneLinke 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 Modern 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.
