Yotam Peled & the Free Radicals

Yotam Peled was born in Israel and has been practicing fine arts, athletics and Capoeira since childhood. At the age of 21 he began dancing and later pursued higher education in contemporary circus. In 2015 he relocated to Berlin and, since then, has been working as a freelance performer with several European choreographers, among them Maura Morales, Yann L’Hereux, Troels Primdahl, Jill Crovisier and Mitia Fedotenko. Alongside performing, he has been creating his own choreographic work which has toured festivals and venues worldwide. As a resident choreographer he worked in: ‘THINK BIG’ / TANZtheater International festival Hanover, TalentLAB#19 / Grand Theater Luxembourg under the mentorship of Hofesh Shechter, the Choreographic Center of Heidelberg, TanzLabor / ROXY Ulm, Skopje Dancer Theater, Tanzhaus Zürich, PimOff Milan, Altofest Naples and developed work for Theater Strahl Berlin and in Fabrik Potsdam as part of EXPLORE DANCE project. Yotam has been a guest teacher and collaborator in Fontys Academy of Arts, Folkwang University of Arts, Dock11, Munstrum Theater, Cie. Hors Surface, Cooperativa Maura Morales, Overhead Project, PRISMA festival, IWANSON Munich and numerous festivals and dance studios in Europe and Asia.  

Yotam Peled & the Free Radicals is an ensemble established in September 2018, following the creation of Entropia, as part of ‘THINK BIG’ project at the State Opera of Hannover. It acts as a project-based company engaging different freelancers, focusing on contemporary interdisciplinary creation and addressing topics of gender, power structures and community rituals. The ensemble’s focus is on creating and touring in Europe and it operates both in conventional and alternative spaces, often engaging in workshops and site-responsive projects. Our creative process and output are centred around the body and the potential of movement to transform social codes. Aspects of our existence which are often considered dark, inappropriate or wild, receive space and treatment in our performances, both as a space for healing and critical reflection. The movement research and language of the ensemble is inspired by Yotam's biography, originating from circus and martial arts — working with the extremities of the body and the impossible, as well as rave culture — a ritual of repetition and emotional intensity.
