Bio

Omer Keinan is a dance artist and scholar based in Stockholm (SE) and Berlin (DE). His work takes an irreverent, deconstructive approach to embodied technique, wobbling the experience of becoming and relating through body.

​

As a choreographer, Omer has presented his work in Germany, Belgium, Austria, and Israel. His most recent work, Mythologies (2023), unfolds the systems of signification and power which are present in the ways we story our daily lives. Audiences are invited to share stories which were then re-presented through dance. As stories accumulate and enter the unruly domain of embodiment, meaning-making spirals, slips, and cracks. Prior to that, Azathoth (2022) was a cosmic meditation on the horror and elation of the unknowable. An invitation to insist on uncertainty and conflict, to linger with the weird and the eerie, to believe with doubt.

​

As a researcher, Omer has been leading a performance laboratory, Blue Sky (2018-present), in various contexts; most recently, ccap (SE) and Uferstudios in collaboration with nein9 kollektiv (DE). Drawing on an extensive practical and theoretical framework, the laboratory aims to develop methods for thinking through embodiment; inviting practitioners to contemplate their agencies, as bodies and creators, to interact with and enact change in their realities. The laboratory has yielded several research expositions, such A Performance Practice Interface (2024), and a publication called Wobbles (2025). 

​

Omer studied at the New Performative Practices Master’s program at Stockholm University of the Arts (SE, 2025). He received a diploma in choreography from the International Choreographic Exchange postgraduate program at SEAD Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance (AU, 2019) and graduated from the Maslool Professional Dance Program (IL, 2017).
