Ohad Fishof is an artist and musician, working in a diverse range of fields including sound, dance, video, performance and writing.
Fishof began his artistic career in the mid Eighties as the leader of experimental pop band The Top Hat Carriers. He later moved on to compose music for dance, performance and art installations while at the same time expanding his artistic endeavor to other media.
In the early Nineties Fishof relocated to London. In 1997 he received an MA in choreography from Laban Centre London (where he later became a visiting lecturer). Since then, his work in dance and performance, as well as his sound installations, were presented in England, Japan, Lithuania, The Netherlands, Sweden, Turkey, Switzerland, Israel and at the Venice Biennale in Italy (with Uri Katzenstein).
Fishof moved back to Israel in 2003 and is currently involved in various ways with The Bat-Sheva Dance Company and its artistic director Ohad Naharin. He designed the soundtracks for "Shalosh", "Furo" and "Telophase", and served as a dramaturge for the later. In 2004 he was the music director and dramaturge of "Playback", a solo evening of music and dance directed and preformed by Ohad Naharin. He is also a teacher of Gaga, Naharin's movement language.
Over the past few years Fishof presented video and choreographic work in Israel and Japan, composed and designed soundtracks for various dance pieces in Israel and abroad and took part in several group exhibitions. In 2005 he performed “A Slow Walk for Longplayer” in London, commissioned by Artangel.
