Sharon Fridman

Sharon Fridman, born in Hadera, Israel in 1980, began his career as a dancer in 1999 with the prestigious Ido Tadmor Dance Company. After several works with Kibbutz Contemporany Dance Companu and later with Vertigo Dance Company, he also began working as a choreographer in 2000. After founding his own company Project Sharon Fridman, in Madrid, Spain, in 2006 he began a research of contact improvisation as a tool for practice and creation. INA practice, the technical body language he uses in his work, focuses on the relationship between gravity and balance, and is inspired by his mother, who was born with Arnold Chiari syndrome. Using this technique, he conducts physical workshops for professional dancers, students and various non-dancer bodies, all over the world. Many of her pieces have received awards, such as best performance for Free Fall (2015), best choreography for Erritu in 2019, first prize and audience award for Hasta Dónde…? at the Certamen de Burgos-New York (2011) and best dance performance award at the Huesca Dance and Theater Fair for Free Fall and All ways (2014 and 2017, respectively).
