He spent significant times in Japan studying martial arts and the local culture, and, since 1993, regularly works together with Kazuo Ohno (one of the founders of Japanese Butoh) and his son Yoshito.

He choreographed, amongst others of the musical "Peace Child", one of the first theatre productions in Israel in which Jewish and Arabic children were working together.
