Sigal Bergman

Sigal Bergman is a choreographer, dancer, and Alexander Technique teacher based in Tel Aviv, Israel. She was educated in Israel, Holland, and NYC in various physical and psychophysical techniques, including Release Technique, Contact Improvisation, Tai Ji (Yang), Yoga (Iyengar), and Alexander Technique. Her recent choreographic work includes Revert to Manual #2 (2022), Red Bitter (2020), Revert to Manual (2018), and Pale Fire (2016), all works that mix speech and movement. Her choreographies were supported by multiple grants from Mifal HaPais, the Israeli Council for Culture and Arts, the Rabinowitz Foundation for the Arts, and by many residencies.

For an upcoming dance trio to be performed in 2024, Sigal Bergman will be creating movement sequences that reflect on transforming chaos into strength. Drawing from images of political upheaval and violence as well as Renaissance paintings depicting physical struggle and torment, she is studying the ways in which forceful energy can be turned into feminine power, personal order, and beauty.
