Roni Haver

Haver began her career as a dancer in the Bat Sheva Ensemble in Tel Aviv and then danced in various companies, including Wim Vandekeybus and Itzik Galili.  

In 2002 she joined Guy Weizman in Groningen in founding the international dance company Club Guy & Roni, where she is artistic director. Tightly executed, meticulous choreographies are typical of her work. She demands extreme precision, high energy and deep concentration from her dancers and their explosive energy, a hallmark of the company, can be attributed largely to her. The Club Guy & Roni dancers and the actors of the Noord Nederlands Toneel form an interdisciplinary ensemble that stages performances under the name NITE.  

Haver and Weizman are regularly invited as guest choreographers in the Netherlands and abroad. From 2014 to 2018, for instance, they were the choreographer in residence at TanzMainz/ Staatstheater Mainz. 

Haver's achievements as a dancer and choreographer have not gone unrewarded. As a dancer, she was nominated in 2001 for Zilveren Theaterdansprijs for her role in Albert and Panja, and in 2005 a Zwaan award for best dance performance for her role in Myrrh and Cinnamon. She was later nominated and received several awards for her work as a choreographer, including Alpha Boys (2011, nominated for a Zwaan), L'Histoire du Soldat (2013, Russia’s Golden Mask Award) and Midnight Rising (also 2013, another Zwaan for most impressive dance production).
