Hi, my name is Edan. I am the choreographer and artistic director of INTER-ACTIONS in Heidelberg, Germany. At INTER-ACTIONS – More than a Dance Company, we develop practices in cultural sustainability with a focus on new working models for the independent dance community. Additionally, I work as a freelance choreographer, mentor, mediator, feedback facilitator, movement researcher and dance-activist. I am a member of TanzSzene BW and FLUX e.V.
The philosophy of my artistic practice is based on searching the self within its surroundings. Layered, complex and thought provoking, my work aims to explore social, psychological and emotional realms. My most recent work includes stage productions inspired by numerous subjects such as conflict, trauma, identity, privilege, democracy, capitalism, communication, soft skills, power and control.
In my previous life as a dancer I worked with the dance companies Batsheva Ensemble Dance Company, Inbal Pinto Dance Company, NND/Galilidance and Club Guy & Roni. I performed the works of many choreographers including: Ohad Naharin, Inbal Pinto, Sharon Eyal, Itzik Galili, Paul Selwyn Norton, Emmanuel Gat, Guy Weizman & Roni Haver and more.
My choreographic works THE PLAYERS and LUCKY BASTARDS were awarded the Baden-Württemberg Dance and Theater prize for 2017 & 2019. At the festival 6TageFrei in Stuttgart, THE PLAYERS received both the critics’ prize and the public prize for best production in 2017 and LUCKY BASTARDS received the guest performance award in 2019. My work OUT_CRY, was nominated for a Silesian Golden Mask award for most unique production in 2016. Besides creating for my own company INTER-ACTIONS, I choreographed works on numerous companies including: Ballett Pforzheim, Mainfranken Theater Würzburg, 420PEOPLE Prague, NND/Galilidance, Tanzhaus Zürich, Noord Nederlandse Dans, Club Guy & Roni, OpenFLR, Random Collision and a production (in cooperation with the dancer Florencia Lamarca) supported by Sasha Waltz & Guests .
Since 2024, I facilitate movement workshops on conflict and negotiation for anyone struggling with daily conflicts, open to all people, with and without experience with dance, ages 16 – 100. The workshops are especially effective for dance companies, schools, groups, collectives, work teams and colleagues, families, partners and individuals. My public PUSH & PULL workshops were developed at INTER-ACTIONS in Heidelberg and invited to Theater Rampe and TanzKarlsruhe Festival.
