CN D Pantin

Emanuel Gat was born in Israel in 1969. He discovered dance during a workshop with the choreographer Nir Ben Gal, whose company he subsequently joined. He started to work as an independent choreographer in 1994 and founded his own company in 2004 at the Suzanne Dellal Centre in Tel Aviv. He has created several pieces, such as Voyage d’hiver and Le Sacre du printemps in 2004, which won a Bessie Award. He moved to France in 2007 and joined the Maison de la Danse in Istres. An associate artist at Festival Montpellier Danse in 2013, then in 2016-2017, he created SUNNY, DUOS and “TENWORKS (for Jean-Paul)”. In 2018, he joined up with the Ensemble Modern to create Story Water in the Cour d’Honneur of the Palais des Papes at the Avignon Festival. He is regularly invited to create or transmit pieces by such prestigious companies as the Ballet of the Opéra de Paris, the Sydney Dance Company and the Ballet British Columbia. Emanuel Gat is an associate artist at Chaillot – Théâtre National de la Danse.

This workshop is an invitation to experiment with new ways of approaching choreography: an attempt to explore together models of choreographic composition which take an interest in systems of inclusion and support, rather than competitiveness and rivalry. Emanuel Gat has in particular choreographed Story Water, SUNNY & WORKS based on this process of artistic production.
