Batsheva’s Israeli Circles of Friends

Batsheva’s Friends Association is an intimate group of the company’s supporters, who follow its work and get the opportunity to experience it up close. The Company holds exclusive events for our Friends throughout the year, and consider them real partners in our growth and ongoing activity.

Batsheva Dance Company is a non-profit organization. About a third of its budget comes from donations made by foundations and individuals. The Friends of Batsheva allow us to dream and realize – to create new pieces that meet our high professional standards, ensure the dancers’ wellbeing and nurture them as dancemakers, present a rich repertoire of shows before diverse audiences in Israel and worldwide, expand the company’s education channels, and offer extensive pedagogic activities to communities in the center and the periphery.

Furthermore, the Company’s Friends share the vision of Batsheva Campus – the Company’s new home that will transform the historic Central Bus Station platform in Neve Sha’anan neighborhood into the next cultural complex in Tel Aviv-Yafo.

  • Intimate and unmediated encounter with Ohad Naharin, guest choreographers, and Batsheva dancers
