Key Performance warmly welcomes

Arkadi Zaides as a new artistic partner, and Julia Asperska as a new collaborator.

Arkadi Zaides lives and works in Tel Aviv. His works, such as Solo Siento, Solo Colores and Quiet are being shown extensively in Israel and worldwide. Embedded in Arkadi Zaides’ work is a belief that the role of art is to challenge and inspire viewers, while simultaneously it has a larger universal role to reach out and bring together different communities and different sectors of society. Arkadi is increasingly working in diverse communities, focusing primarily on the Arab sector in Israel.

Julia Asperska freshly started as art project manager in Key Performance on 1 March. Julia (formerly International Relations officer at Teatr Dramatyczny in Warsaw) will be responsible for our contacts in the Central and Eastern European countries, as well as for the coordination of Arkadi Zaides’ tours.
