Zohar Kotz

I am an artist who is fascinated by the relationship between movement, materials, and human emotion. My work explores how physical sensations, textures, and environments can shape the body’s expression. I am drawn to creating performances that are both physically demanding and emotionally honest, where vulnerability and curiosity become tools for connection.

My ambition is to keep working as a performer with different choreographers and companies, experiencing a variety of creative processes and artistic approaches. At the same time, I want to continue developing my own choreographic voice and creating work that reflects my curiosity, research, and artistic identity.

I find inspiration in people, in everyday life, nature, visual art, music, and the physical qualities of different materials. I am curious how objects, textures, environments, and human relationships can influence movement and emotional states, and I enjoy transforming these observations into work.

During my internship, I spent six months with Pfalztheater Kaiserslautern before joining Emanuel Gat Dance on a professional contract. Experiencing two very different working environments helped me grow as a performer, strengthening my adaptability, collaboration skills, and artistic curiosity.
