CHAIM GEBBER - OPEN SCENE

CHAIM GEBBER-OPEN SCENE is a Physical theater dance company  founded in 2014 under the artistic direction of Chaim Gebber.  Unification, culture, and social behaviors comprise the foundation of our work and process.

For his Projects CHAIM GEBBER developed a system of improvisation and composition tools  The Conscious Body System  that give a straightforward and pragmatic entrance to his exploration of body mechanism and perception.

Performances and projects like Sharing Spaces, Body Play , Exploring Visuals, For Ones Sake  confirm and validate this direction of research in understanding and unifying the Humans as a single “RACE”. 

CHAIM GEBBER uses in his works  choreographic constellations and a deep understanding of movement to question cultural/ Social behavior in depth physical and emotional states.

Out of this principle born Body Play:  an ongoing artistic , cultural and social project that so  far had connected guests from Morocco, China, South Korea, Brazil, Italy, Austria, Germany, through performances residences in Germany and abroad.
