Your donation today supports:
Education: Batsheva considers the nurturing and training of young dancers and creators as part of its core mission and works tirelessly to promote dance education. Batsheva continues to inspire the younger generation of dancers and provides them a framework for growth and development.
Dancers’ Wellness: Batsheva dancers dedicate their lives to the art of movement, and in return, we are committed to nurturing their physical, emotional, and professional growth. This commitment goes beyond the stage, ensuring they have access to wellness programs, physical therapy, and resources that foster a healthy work-life balance. We believe that supporting the whole dancer — from their strength and resilience to their personal ambitions and creative exploration — is essential to the longevity of their careers and the vibrancy of Batsheva.
New Works – Batsheva’s works are at the forefront of dancemaking in Israel and worldwide. Many of them have entered the canon of international dance. Each season, Batsheva stages new dance works, holding over 250 performances before 100,000 viewers in Israel and around the world. Staging a new piece requires extensive studio rehearsals, collaboration with co-creators, and significant production expenses. We invite you to take part and help secure the continuation of new groundbreaking dancemaking.
Investing in Future Generations – Batsheva is committed ensuring culture and dance education for all ages and throughout Israel. They bring diverse populations closer to the art of dance with the belief that the existence of art is essential to the development of a better and more advanced society. Batsheva also places special emphasis on cultivating a young audience through Batsheva Ensemble’s morning performance project in schools.
