Jefta van Dinther (1980) is a choreographer and dancer. His work is characterised by a clear physical approach and almost always stages an exploration of movement. The body is at the centre of the works, which interact with light, sound and different materials to form a whole.<\/p>\n
Central to his work is the question of what it means to be human, explored through its relationship to society, community and environment, but also to other forms of life such as animals and other non-human entities.<\/p>\n
Van Dinther's works include REMACHINE (2023), Unearth (2022), the diptych On Earth I'm Done: Islands (2022) and Mountains (2021), The Quiet (2019), Plateau Effect for Staatsballett Berlin (2019), Dark Field Analysis (2017), Protagonist (2016), As It Empties Out (2014), Plateau Effect (2013), THIS IS CONCRETE (2012), The Blanket Dance (2011), GRIND (2011), Kneeding (2010), The Way Things Go (2009) and IT'S IN THE AIR (2008). Jefta van Dinther has also choreographed and dances in the music video Monument (2015) by Robyn & R\u00f6yksopp. Jefta was an associate choreographer with Cullberg between 2019-2022.<\/p>\n
In 2012, van Dinther was awarded the Birgit Cullberg grant from the Swedish Arts Grants Committee. Van Dinther also received the Swedish Theatre Critics' Dance Award 2013 for Plateau Effect, which was also selected for the Swedish Performing Arts Biennale 2015. GRIND was awarded the S\u00e4de Prize in Finland for best lighting design and received three awards at the Favoriten Festival in Dortmund, 2012.<\/p>\n
Van Dinther graduated from the Amsterdam School of the Arts (MTD) in 2003 and was subsequently engaged as a dancer, working with several choreographers such as Mette Ingvartsen, Frederic Gies, Kristine Slettevold, Keren Levi, Ivana Muller, Leine&Roebana and Xavier le Roy. Van Dinther teaches choreography at various international centres and training programmes. He was appointed artistic director of the master's programme in choreography at DOCH (Stockholm School of Dance and Circus) between 2012-2014.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
