The Animato Dance Art was developed by the Israeli dance artist Nadine Bommer – Director and Choreographer of the Nadine Bommer Dance Company. Animato Dance Art uses and improvisational kinetic movement language inspired by the sea’s endless motion and the diverse surrounding nature. Bommer developed her method in hopes to support and enrich her creative work; dancers are empowered and inspired by the experience of the creative process.
Nadine creates diverse figures and situations which encourage the dancers to find expressive artistic freedom through the Animato Art Method. The creative stage of dance development relies on the totality of Animato Art, Kinetic movement with animato characters, producing the stunning onstage energy that has become the hallmark of the Nadine Bommer Dance Company.
Though born in New York City, Nadine Bommer spent most of her childhood in Rishon LeZion, Israel. The drive to create dance productions has been ever-present in her life, and Bommer began creating when she was still just a child. Following her amateur productions for family, friends, and neighbors, Bommer was invited to head the student production at her school when she was only 11 years old, and then again in junior high and high school.
She received a scholarship from the mayor for her impressive work as a child choreographer/director, and was invited to teach dance to a local group of students following the show produced in her junior year of high school. Intermittently throughout her childhood, Bommer traveled to NYC with her mother, studying dance at the American Ballet Theatre School and Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater School while there. As a young adult, Bommer focused on teaching dance.
At the age of 21, she opened the first in a series of successful dance studios in Israel.
With her established school and developing choreography, Bommer began to codify the technique and artistic philosophy that now sustains her career and choreographic work.
