侯非胥・謝克特Hofesh Shechter
編舞家侯非胥.謝克特來自以色列的背景成為其獨特風格基底,巧妙轉譯當代與民族的舞蹈語彙,以充滿爆發力和感染力的舞作驚艷全球,時常身兼音樂創作,成為肢體跳動的催化劑,如電影手法的敘事結構,更為作品打造獨樹一格的空間與氛圍。
其代表作《Political Mother》、《The Art of Not Looking Back》、《Sun》、《barbarians》與《Grand Finale》以原始的身體能量、電影般的燈光與原創音樂相結合,塑造出他的標誌性風格。 侯非胥的編舞作品曾由多個國際頂尖舞團演出,包括艾文·艾利美國舞蹈劇院、瑪莎·葛蘭姆舞團、巴黎歌劇院芭蕾舞團與英國皇家芭蕾舞團,也曾受紐約大都會歌劇院委託創作。
他的舞蹈電影《Clowns》與《Political Mother: The Final Cut》獲得國際讚譽,其中《The Final Cut》更獲得坎城影展「最佳舞蹈電影」。
他目前亦為 Sadler's Wells 的駐館藝術家,並於 2018 年因其對舞蹈的貢獻獲頒英帝國官佐勳章(OBE)。在百老匯,他曾為 2016 年版本的《屋頂上的小提琴手》擔任編舞,並與 Matthew Warchus 共同執導由 Rami Malek 與 Indira Varma 主演的新版本《Oedipus》。
