Tamar Zehava Tabori (she/her) dances, creates videos, and contributes behind the scenes in the arts. With a BFA from Montreal's Concordia University, her artistic career has taken her across various stages and screens, both nationally and internationally. Tamar is grateful to have been deeply influenced by divergent perspectives on dance and movement, having worked with and for artists and companies such as Petrikor Danse, Kivanç Tatar, Amber Downie-Back, Shion Skye Carter, Scout Heckel, Bradley Eng, Jeanette Kotowich, Company 605, and The Falling Company.
Tamar's career is marked by commissions for performance, production and curation roles, aligning with her desire to share and grow within different creative capacities. Her experimental short films have screened at over 20 festivals worldwide, even finding unconventional temporary homes like building facades and public transit screens. With a personal value of defying norms and embracing movement as a constant theme, she's proud to be a part of F-O-R-M (Festival of Recorded Movement) as its Artistic Director.
Tamar is currently an uninvited guest finding inspiration and grounding on the stolen and unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples; namely the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh), and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations.
