Keren Levi

Keren Levi is a choreographer based in Amsterdam, leading the company NeverLike, which receives funding from various public and private foundations. Her work is idiosyncratic, multidisciplinary, and conceptual, blending dance, music, and video. Levi’s performances are structured around principles of film and music, exploring themes with a tender-sharp feminist focus. She creates heterogeneous representations of women, challenging social conventions and expectations through her work. Levi is dedicated to positioning dance in a space where it becomes a tool for exploring broader socio-political contexts, constantly questioning what dance is and the role it can play in society.

Since 2004, Keren Levi has created multidisciplinary dance performances that engage both adult and young audiences. Her inventive combinations of abstract concepts and technology stimulate the imagination, as seen in works like Territory (2004), winner of the BNG Prize, and Couple-Like #2 (2010), which won the Zilveren Krekel. In 2013, Levi received the Dioraphte Prize for The Dry Piece, a performance that contrasts the female body and modern beauty ideals with Hollywood choreography.
