Hofesh Shechter, OBE

Choreographer and composer, Hofesh Shechter, OBE is recognized as one of the most exciting UK artists making stage work today. After dancing with Batsheva Dance Company, he moved to Paris to study music before relocating to London in 2002.  “In your rooms” (2007), created in co-production with London’s leading dance institutions—The Place, Southbank Centre, and Sadler’s Wells—was met with a full house and won the Critics’ Circle National Dance Award for Best Choreography, propelling him into the spotlight. In 2008, he founded Hofesh Shechter Company. His first works presented in Japan, “Political Mother” (2010) and “Political Mother: The Choreographer’s Cut”(2019), generated significant acclaim.

Alongside his prolific work with his own company, he has created pieces for some of the world’s most renowned companies, including Nederlands Dans Theater 1, the Paris Opera Ballet, and The Royal Ballet. His activities span a wide range of fields, including musicals, opera, theatre, film, and television; the Broadway musical “Fiddler on the Roof” (2016) received a Tony Award nomination. He also appeared as himself in the film “En Corps” (released in 2023), which drew considerable attention. He serves as Co-director of the L’Agora – Cité internationale de la Danse, Montpellier, and Associate Artist of Sadler’s Wells.  He was awarded a Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres in 2026.
