The 1|2|3 Platform for Emerging 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 three stages, each one of them culminating in a premiere, where substantial professional opportunities are offered to the selected outstanding artists, some of which are: international residency programs, participation in exchange initiatives, creating for dance schools and young companies in Israel and abroad, complimentary access to professional dance classes, and more.
The SOLO evening premiered on April 2024, concluding the first phase of program’s #3 edition
