He also devised and directed the company’s two “performance installations”: In C at the Hammer Museum and Nimbus at Walt Disney Concert Hall.

"a quirky, deeply personal choreographer". ..."she is such a strong performer, a veritable dance sorceress of smoldering sensuality and fire burning within, yet on the surface serenity, a kind of killer confidence. -Arts meme, Debra Levine "One of the strengths of the piece was its self-awareness in playing with camp". -LA dance Chronicle "The personalized performance made space for one of the greatest varieties in movement vocabulary I have seen in a single evening-length work".

< Back Voices from the Killing Jar "Danielle Agami Goes Gaga With Long Beach Opera’s Pierrot lunaire" Artists: Long Beach Opera Jenny Wong, conductor Kiera Duffy, soprano, Pierrot Lunaire Laurel Irene, vocal artist, Voices from the Killing Jar Danielle Agami, director/choreographer, Pierrot Lunaire Zoe Aja Moore, director, Voices from the Killing Jar Wild Up Ate9 dANCEcOMPANY, Pierrot Lunaire Why are women in opera so often depicted as prostitutes, sacrificial victims, or both? This double bill featuring solo operas written a century apart allows women to take control of their own narratives. In 1912, Arnold Schoenberg changed music forever with his atonal setting of 21 Symbolist poems for five instrumentalists and a female vocalist who is asked to perform something between speech and singing. A hundred years later, Kate Soper uses similar forces to bring to life eight famous women from world literature—from Don Giovanni to The Great Gatsby , from Shakespeare to Haruki Murakami—to unravel men’s depictions of women. Each work is a tour de force for vocalists who think far outside operatic conventions. Produced in partnership with Long Beach Opera: Founded in 1979, the Long Beach Opera is the oldest operatic producing company in the metropolitan Los Angeles/Orange County region; its mission is to engage people through provocative meaningful experiences that challenge, connect, and inspire.

Designer. furniture maker < Back Amir Raveh Designer. furniture maker Amir Raveh operates a design studio named Nagarya and is a partner in an upscale boutique carpentry workshop, in Tel Aviv. As a designer, he blends his twenty five years of experience as a carpenter with his soft spot for discarded objects and furniture. Raveh's scavenger inclination drives him to collect items that bear the scars of time and obviously their own history. The compositions he creates confront those old objects with a new reality. He does not pour new wine into an old bottle, but rather unveils a new chapter of a forgotten book. Raveh's poetic and romantic touches are very often displayed with a tongue in the cheek attitude. His works navigate in the gap between utility and the autonomy of the art object. Raveh's works have been exhibited in Tel Aviv, Berlin and Los Angeles and have served as sets for Dance performances by choreographers Ohad Naharin and Danielle Agami including the Queen George set.
