My journey in dance began at the age of three in a “movement for early childhood” class, which sparked my connection to movement and expression. I later joined rhythmic gymnastics, participating in competitions both in the country and abroad, while also training in classical ballet until the age of sixteen. After a short break, I returned to dance with renewed passion, and at nineteen was accepted into the Dance and Movement B.A. program at Seminar HaKibbutzim College. There, I continue to develop my artistic and performance skills through training in ballet, contemporary dance, improvisation, and performance. I also took part in a performance art and choreography program at Al-Saraya Theater led by Nur Garabli, which deepened my interest in collective creation.
In April 2025, I joined Nur Garabli’s company as a trainee dancer — my first experience within a repertory ensemble. This role allowed me to explore choreography from both the inside and outside, and to work through listening, observation, and shared presence rather than pure execution.
