The bi-annual program for choreography 2023-2025

The bi-annual program for choreography 2023-2025 directed by Tami Lebovits

The Choreography program in Kelim is one of its kind in the local scene. It is a post graduate program aimed at artists who are active in the field of choreography, dance and performance. as well as artists from various disciplines whose physical research is at the heart of their work. The program offers a process which combines a personal artistic process with group learning.

The learning process’s starting point is the physical body. There are different ways in which the body learns: experience, touch, imitation, sensory experience. These modes inform the learning environment as well as the artistic process of each student. As the learning process progresses through the two-year course, the individual process becomes central to the structure of the program.

The program weaves together guided study time alongside personal research time. The students receive their own studio for rehearsals at the Kalim center. With the transition from the first year to the second year, the private studio time expands. This is a transition into a phase in which the resources of the program are directed towards the independent process offered by each one of the students.

The studies take place two days a week for two years. Sundays and Mondays a week (mostly). The study program consists of practical physical lessons, workshops and conversations with leading choreographers and artists, studio visits, lectures and theoretical meetings. As part of the program, seminars will be held in different regions of Israel as well as connections and collaborations with experimental study groups and various art institutions in Israel and abroad.

Director of the program: Tami Lebovits
