Fadi Giha and Mark Bradshaw

Fadi Giha is a dance artist and choreographer based in London, UK.

Fadi looks at the body as inseparable from society. His main interest is where the body stands in different times and places. His work captures moments of lived experiences and expands and explores them using various creative tools and perspectives. Trials, failure, simplicity, and boldness are essential in his approach.

Fadi choreographed and performed Dissent at Chelsea Theatre in 2023, a solo work commissioned by SACF exploring the concept of The Encounter. His interdisciplinary work includes his performance at I’d Search Forever, I Want to Remember at Corck St., Frieze London 2023, and Dover’s Citadel, a body of work by artist Tamara Al-Mashouk that asks if matter and place remember the way our bodies do. His group work includes Siege II in 2018 at The Higher Institute of Dramatic Arts, the process of 5 dancers examining the concept of Body Image.

He most recently composed the score for the Disney+ series The Clearing (2023), for which he was awarded Australia’s Screen Music Award. Other recent film and TV credits include Daina Reid’s Run Rabbit Run (2023) and Goran Stolevski’s You Won’t Be Alone (2021).
