Uri Noy Meir was born in a small village near the Sea of Galilee and is now based near Pisa, Italy. He holds a BA in Theatre and Latin Cultures Studies from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
He is a social artist, facilitator, researcher, and socio-cultural innovator, project manager and father working at the intersection of applied theatre, ecology, and technology. His work explores how the arts can cultivate interconnectedness and collective well-being across communities, organizations, and multi-stakeholder ecosystems. He designs and accompanies participatory processes that activate collective intelligence and dormant creativity, particularly in initiatives where digital technologies are reimagined as spaces for reconnection with self, others, human and nature.
Trained in Theatre of the Oppressed, Dragon Dreaming, and Social Presencing Theatre, and mentored by Héctor Aristizábal and John Croft, he integrates embodied arts and systems thinking to support transformative, collaborative, and regenerative projects worldwide. He is the founder of Theatre that Reconnects, an evolving methodology that weaves participatory arts, deep ecology, and awareness-based systems change to nurture relational resilience in times of social and ecological transition.
