Artistic Director: Yoram Karmi
Anat Danieli, Ygor Manishkov, and Anat Oz were invited by the Fresco Center for Dance and Culture to participate in the Artist-in-Residence Program. The program aims to encourage, promote, and showcase Israeli artistic creation while providing comprehensive artistic and technical support.
The selected artists research, experiment, and work as guests at the company’s home while developing their new creations.
We would like to thank all the artists who submitted their candidacies and warmly congratulate the selected artists.
The program is supported by the "Pais Council for Culture and Arts".
Anat Danieli is an independent choreographer active since 1989. She has created works for Batsheva Dance Company, Batsheva Ensemble, Kol Demama Dance Company, the American Dance Festival, and since 1994 for her own company, Anat Danieli Dance Company. Her works have been presented in Israel, the United States, Switzerland, Portugal, Germany, the Netherlands, and Japan.
She is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Rosenblum Prize for the Performing Arts (2007), the Ministry of Culture Creation Award (2006), the Young Artists Award from the Ministry of Culture, Science and Sport (1996), first prize at Gvanim in Dance (2000), and the Gertrud Kraus Dance Competition Prize (1988, 1999).
Her work is driven by a desire to explore and reveal the personal and human expression of the moving body. Between 2009–2011, she created and curated the platform New Dance at the Interdisciplinary Arena Theater in Jerusalem, together with choreographer Arkadi Zaides—supporting the development of young choreographers and contemporary dance responding to local realities.
In 2009, she co-founded Kelim, a school and center for choreography, together with Tal Grabinsky and a group of young choreographers. Kelim provides a unique framework for study, research, and mentorship, fostering dialogue between creation, artist, audience, and community.
Anat Oz is a movement artist, creator, and performer. She danced with the Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company, Kamea Dance Company, and the Israeli Ballet, and collaborated with choreographers Roy Assaf, Idan Sharabi, and Dafi Altabeb.
Since 2019, she has focused on independent creation. Her work Coda Introversion, produced with the support of Inbal Dance Theater, won several awards at international choreography competitions in Israel, Germany, and Hungary, and was invited to festivals in South Korea and the Netherlands in 2022. Her work THIRD won a performance award at the International Solo Dance Competition in Stuttgart. UNDERSEA was created with the support of the Pais Culture Council and the Nifgashot Festival in Kfar Shalem.
She is currently an artist-in-residence at the Fresco Center for Dance. In 2021, her work The Coda Introversion premiered for the dance company of the National Theatre Mannheim, Germany. Anat teaches movement workshops, contemporary ballet classes, and repertoire workshops. Since 2020, she has also practiced holistic reflexology, accompanying healing and empowerment processes while exploring the connection between body and mind.
Ygor Manishkov is a graduate of the Vaganova Academy in Saint Petersburg. He danced as a principal soloist with the Polish National Ballet, the Croatian National Theatre Ballet, Zurich Ballet, and the Israeli Ballet. He performed leading roles in the classical repertoire and worked with renowned choreographers, including William Forsythe, Mauro Bigonzetti, Christian Spuck, Paul Lightfoot, and Sol León, among many others.
As a choreographer, he participated in the Masach Rishon (Curtain Up) Festival in 2017–2018, created a ballet version of Fiddler on the Roof for Ballet Jerusalem, and leads his dance group GEM, which performs his works across Israel and at international dance festivals.
