Osnat’s work draws on culturally diverse influences from Latin American and African music and dance to her own Middle Eastern and Jewish roots. Her attitude to both textual development and musical composition is driven by combining experience as a performer with work as a teacher of unaccompanied vocal music. (The Roundhouse, RADA, Central School of Speech and Drama, WAC Performing Arts College). Osnat’s passion is for an energetic, physically based performance style and working with companies like the Gate, the Clod Ensemble and Scarlet Theatre allowed her to see how she could fuse this theatrical approach with her musical versatility.
