Tamir Eting (Israel, 1990) is an interdisciplinary choreographer working at the intersection of dance, philosophy, installation, and performance.
Proposing theater as a mutable environment, he questions the performative space through different mediums, namely choreography, set design, and video.
Often collaborating with different artists, such as light designers, video artists, dancers, or sound artists, his approach to stage works exceeds the black box. Working through installation theater, his realm of research lies between physical investigations, spatial constructions, and theoretical quests. Building his own scenography, Tamir sets conditions for the works to emerge. His moving practice is shaped by the relation between physicality and the built environment: how the setting informs the bodies and the bodies, in return, affect the material constructions. The performers usually have an active part in the building of the architectural proposition. Tamir induces the audience into intimate atmospheres through crafting darkness. By creating a space that not only welcomes but also requires intimacy, he seeks to seduce the spectator through activating their presence.
The imagery of his practice is rooted in allegories to darkness and light, dreams as unknown and unspoken zones, deprived of linear narratives, but also in his fascination with systems in organic constellations, for instance, the capacity of insects to react to one another.
He aspires to create environments that travel narratives whilst suggesting encounters being shaped and shaping back the performers and the viewers.
Tamir was a dancer at Batsheva Ensemble Dance Company for three years and recently completed his BA at the School of New Dance Development, (Amsterdam, NL), during which he participated in a residency at Sense Lab at Concordia University (Montreal, CA).
Aside from his practice, he collaborates with and performs for other artists. He is a certified Gaga teacher and works with actors, movers, and dance companies. He teaches workshops in The Netherlands, Russia, Italy, Israel, and Germany.
