Eilit Marom is a choreographer and visual artist based in the Netherlands and Israel. Her performances are driven by a pronounced action or interaction that brings performers and audiences into direct contact with their embodied natural knowledge. Eilit seeks connections between bodily expression and universal experiences that speak of trust, liberation and conviviality. With a background in dance, she takes a collaborative approach to discipline, working in a transdisciplinary way with embodiment as a central material. Her work includes both performances and community-based events. By highlighting the intention of the doer, she offers freedom of engagement, making her practice accessible to both trained performers and the general public.

In recent years, Eilit has begun to collect tasks that evoke experiences of pleasure, simple pleasures that engage one with her senses, connect with others and her environment. She has defined over 100 Unforbidden Pleasures – actions and interactions that offer a conscious moment of embodiment; listening to the echo, building momentum or searching for the horizon. These Unforbidden Pleasures become choreographic tasks in her performances, with the audience as her companion.

Her work has been supported by partners such as Het Nationale Theater, Korzo and Haifa Theater, and has been presented at venues such as Helmhaus Museum (CH), Unfair Amsterdam (NL), Freshpaint (IL), Supercell Brisbane (AU), The Gray Space (NL) and iii (NL). With a BA in Dance from ArtEZ University of the Arts (NL), she has built an international career as a performer and maker. In 2020 he joined Helicopter artists initiative & studios in The Hague, a home for interdisciplinary practices. She regularly teaches and guides groups, making his approach and embodied practice available to others. Eilit is also certified to teach Anouk van Dijk’s movement method Countertechnique and shares her knowledge with professionals and communities in art centers and universities around the world.
