Mysterious, seductive<br />
Club Guy & Roni<br />
and raw performance<br />
Choreographers Guy Weizman and Roni Haver, both Israeli with an Arab background, focus<br />
their work on current subjects with the aim of inspiring, confronting and touching the audience.<br />
The duality in their background is reflected in their work. The recurring theme in their work is<br />
personal liberation and their dance vocabulary is innovative, raw and exciting.<br />
After starting in the Bat Sheva Ensemble in Tel Aviv, they worked with various dance companies<br />
in Berlin, Barcelona and Brussels, inspiring themselves along the way. Club Guy & Roni was<br />
founded in 2001. Devoted to the work of Roni Haver and Guy Weizman, the Club creates and<br />
tours with a range of productions, all produced by Grand Theatre Groningen. The Club Works<br />
with permanent employees such as Eva Puschendorf, Yvonne Weschke, Dunja Jocic (dancers),<br />
Ascon de Nijs (scenery designer), Veerle van Overloop (dramaturgist) and Wil Frikken (lighting).<br />
The choreographers work on the programming for the music together with Frits Selie (Prime),<br />
with whom they write out commissions for contemporary composers.<br />
Roni Haver has twice been nominated for the Zwaan (Swan) for the best dancing achievement.<br />
International<br />
Their mysterious, seductive and dynamic dance performances have made them a popular guest<br />
at international festivals in places including Rome, Tallin, Marseille and Lausanne. In the summer<br />
of 2007 the company performed at the prestigious American Jacob’s pillow festival, the Grec<br />
Festival in Barcelona, the Schlossfestspiele in Ludwigsburg and at Oerol Festival on the Dutch<br />
island Terschelling. The Münstersche Zeitung wrote about Myrrh and Cinnamon: ‘An intimate,<br />
pulsating, seductive performance, an intoxicating illustration of modern-day love.’<br />
In 2008 the company will perform Poetic Disasters in several European cities.<br />
