Artists in residence

Daniel Pettrow is a Brooklyn based actor, director, and multidisciplinary artist. He is a dual citizen (USA and Italy). He frequently focuses on original and experimental creations while fostering collaborations with artists from different disciplines.

His work centers on the view of the performer as a shaman. He often focuses on the space between: between the real and illusion, between the world of the dead and the living. His creations strive to reveal “things” that may lie deeply buried within ourselves, and thus, to shine a light on sensations collectively shared among us.

Daniel Pettrow is the Director of “Performance and Communication” training for The Heifetz International Music Institute, a unique training conservatory designed to develop the expressive and communicative potential of young artists.

He is a close collaborator with renowned French director Arthur Nauzyciel (Artistic Director TNB Rennes), having performed in Black Battles with Dogs, Roberto Zucco, Julius Caesar, and Splendid’s. Recently, Daniel worked with Italian director Romeo Castellucci, performing in Julius Caesar: Spared Parts.

Blake Daniels (born 1990 in Cincinnati) lives and works in Brooklyn and Johannesburg. A recipient of the Edward L. Ryerson Fellowship from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Blake Daniels received a BFA in 2013 and an MFA from the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg in 2017.

Recent solo exhibitions include “A Confession of Rain” in Paris, “Triumph of the Southern Suburbs” at Matthew Brown Gallery in Los Angeles in 2022, and “Tales of Here and Later” at ROOM Gallery in Johannesburg in 2017.

Blake Daniels has also taken part in group shows this year such as “Full and Pure” at the Green Family Art Foundation in Dallas, “The Oyster is Your World” at COMA in Sydney, and “Eye to Eye” at the New York Academy of Art.

Jason Morris Danino Holt is a multidisciplinary artist – playwright, theatre and documentary director, performer, translator, poet, television presenter and cultural entrepreneur. He is the founder of the eponymous independent creative group based in Tel Aviv and artistic director of the HABAIT theatre in Jaffa.

In 2016, he was named recipient of the Rozenblum Prize for Best Young Artist. According to the jury’s remarks: “Jason Danino Holt is a young, ambitious and extraordinary artist who has forged a surprising and fascinating journey from television fame to the emergence of a committed artist with a unique, provocative and subversive voice. “

Jason Danino Holt writes and directs most of his works, through which he seeks to push the boundaries of theatre and create an alternative theatrical-poetic world, which offers the audience a new, inclusive and stimulating listening experience. Danino Holt deals with extreme scenarios, which threaten and endanger the placid and comfortable lives of his characters. He uses art to examine, challenge and fight against this life. Danino Holt’s unique style is based on a dense aesthetic, which produces a wildly carnivalesque result – both attractive and repulsive, superficial and philosophical, pleasant and disturbing.
