Itamar Serussi

Amsterdam based Itamar  Serussi Sahar (Israël, 1978) started his dance education at the age of  15 at the Israeli Dance Academy. In 1998 he started dancing at the  Batsheva Dance Company.

Since 2006, he  is developing his own personal style. He experiments with physical  boundaries by using humour and improvisation. Trying to break through  traditional dance. His work is playful, light and elegant. All his  pieces are the result of the synergy between him, his surroundings and  his dancers.
 ​
 From 2010 – 2012 he was residential choreographer at Danshuis Station  Zuid (Tilburg, NL). In this capacity he created several short  productions; Phenomena, Undo, Ferrum, Lust and the full length work  Mono. This last title was nominated for a Swan award  “Best dance  production – season 2011-2012” at the Nederlandse Dansdagen, Maastricht.
 The choreographies speak strongly to both audiences and performers and  are performed widely in Europe (Czech Republic, France, Slovenia).

Itamar also  creates works for companies in England, Austria, USA ,France, Denmark,   Belgium and Italy and since the summer of 2014 he became residential  choreographer for Scapino Ballet (Rotterdam , NL)
