Netta Yerushalmy

Netta Yerushalmy’s research-based dance-making is propelled by a passion for, and trust in, the body as a site of ineluctable knowledge - aesthetic, visceral, emotional, and political. She’s been recognized with numerous prestigious honors such as a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Princeton Arts Fellowship, an award from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts. She grew up in Galilee, Israel, and received her BFA in Dance from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, where she is currently on faculty.

At Bogliasco, Netta Yerushalmy will be conducting research for her part Mid Life (working title), a live multi-art-form installation, straight from the hearts, minds, and bodies of a collective of creative women in their midlife. Created and performed by Alla Kovgan, Paula Matthusen, Katherine Profeta, Tuçe Yasak, and Netta Yerushalmy, the project takes female middle-age/ing, entangled with art making, as its fleshy nexus point.
