ABOUT THE COMPANY
Roy Assaf was born in 1982 in the farming community of Sde Moshe in the south of Israel. He has been dancing and creating as long as he can remember. He began
formal training at the age of sixteen, when he joined a dance group at the community center in Kiryat Gat.
In 2003 he met the internationally recognized choreographer Emanuel Gat and collaborated closely with Gat as both performer and choreographic assistant from 2004-2009. Since 2010, he has been developing his own works independently and has received commissions from companies including Benjamin Millepied’s L.A Dance Project, the Royal Swedish Ballet, the Batsheva Dance Company, the National Dance Company Wales, the Gothenburg Opera Dance Company, The Juilliard School, TanzMainz and Danish Dance Theater, among others. His work has
been performed in such renowned venues and festivals as the Théâtre National de Chaillot, Jacob’s Pillow, American Dance Festival, Belgrade Dance Festival, Bolzano Danza, Sziget Festival, Trafo, Pavillon Noir, La Biennale di Venezia, La Biennale De Lyon and the Baryshnikov Arts Center. His award-winning duet Six Years Later was performed by Natalia Osipova in her program Pure Dance, produced by Sadler’s Wells.
