The 1|2|3 Platform for Eemerging Choreographers of the Suzanne Dellal Centre is an annual choreographic development program designed for new Israeli choreographers.
The platform serves as an incubator for the next generation of Israeli choreographers, fostering new voices that reflect the multifaceted Israeli landscape and identity. It guides participants through their artistic journey, providing them with the necessary time and space to develop choreographic techniques, refine their artistic voice, and explore their creative tendencies. Moreover, the platform provides educational and professional resources. Participants engage in master classes and receive intensive mentoring from both international and local choreographers, as well as artists from diverse disciplines, such as: music, architecture, cinema, and visual arts. It encourages collaboration and exchange, creating a supportive environment for learning and developing new perspectives within the local dance field.
The platform comprises 3 stages, each one culminates in a public performance, and professional opportunities are offered to the selected outstanding artists. Among the numerous professional opportunities offered are: International residency programs, participation in exchange initiatives, opportunities to create for dance schools and young companies, complimentary access to professional dance classes, and more.
The 1|2|3 Program was established with the assistance of the Lottery Council for Culture and Arts.
