Hofesh Shechter
His dance pieces divide critics and thrill fans, but for the Israeli-born, London-based choreographer, it’s all about provoking a reaction and democratising the art. He sits down with Danielle Radojcin to talk about his life journey, from growing up in Jerusalem to setting up his company in London and his forays into pop culture, for example when he created the opening sequence of the cult teen British TV drama Skins. He also reveals his inspirations – from Stanley Kubrick to tennis – and his obsession with a particular fashion item.
