Originally from Massachusetts, Nathan Yaffe studied dance at Purchase College in New York. Keen to embark on new artistic adventures, he then enrolled in the prestigious contemporary dance school Codarts in Rotterdam. After returning to New York he became a sought-after dancer, working for choreographers Ofelia Loret de Mola, Kate Hutter and Brian Brooks. In Montreal he soon attracted the attention of important choreographers, and in 2008 was part of Hélène Blackburn’s performance for adolescents Journal intime. Ever on the lookout for new and interesting experiences, in 2012 he danced in the second edition of the nocturnal performance event La nuit ensoleillée by Marie Chouinard , and also performed in the peripatetic piece Je me souviens by Harold Rhéaume, presented in the streets of Quebec City. Since 2011 he has been exploring dance improvisation with Les Imprudanses. Also a sculptor and dance videographer, Nathan Yaffe has been collaborating with Kimberley de Jong since 2011 on Cycle and will be performing a duo with her next February as part of Cycle II.
