Biography
I believe in the body as an expressive medium.
I believe in the infinite possibilities of living creatively, and in the effort to give meaning to life lived through the body.
I am asking myself how can I move in creative ways today? Where could I go and how might I need to move to see with fresh eyes and think outside of any constructs that have been handed to me. Is art making something we do, or is it a place to visit?
Born in Jerusalem, Shibi is an improviser, photographer, dance maker, as well as a teacher and ongoing student of movement, art, and therapy. Most recently he has been sharing his passion for life, creativity, and movement through creating improvisation workshops which emphasize tools for life such as playfulness, meditation, the courage to be seen, body awareness, breath work and more.
As a certified Shiatsu and Watsu therapist, he is continuously curious about the exploration of the healing arts through movement and touch, while enjoying collaboration between different art forms. Inspiration is found in many surprising places including everyday situations, Authentic Movement, the practice and play of Contact Improvisation, Music and Dance.
