Anat Yariv
About
A contemporary dancer, teacher, and Dance Movement Therapist, Anat first discovered Contact Improvisation over 20 years ago. Since then, it has remained a deep source of research, practice, inspiration, and personal growth. She has been dancing, teaching, performing, and organising within the CI community across Israel, Europe, and Australia. Her approach to movement is rooted in exploration as a practice of presence — a meeting of body, heart, and mind within both a kinetic and holistic awareness. Her background began in gymnastics and evolved into contemporary dance with a strong focus on improvisation. Alongside this, she has trained in yoga, capoeira, Pilates, Gaga, Authentic Movement, and the Ilan Lev Method. Anat brings a deep curiosity for anatomy and detail while embracing the freedom and poetic nature of movement. She is drawn to the unspoken dialogue between people, nature, and the collective field where movement becomes a shared language.
