Gili is a former Company Friends member, assisted in re-staging Ohad’s repertoire in and abroad and has graduated with honors from the Kibbutzim College of Education, Technology, and the Arts with a BA and teaching certificate in dance education. Ohad continues to be the Company’s house choreographer and will devote his time to working with the dancers and the research of Gaga.

In his last season as Artistic Director, Ohad Naharin invited two guest choreographers—Marlene Monteiro Freitas of Portugal and Roy Assaf of Israel—to create full-length works for the Company and for the Young Ensemble. This commitment to nurturing new choreographic voices expanded the range of work we offer to our audiences' experience. All in all, Batsheva reached 100,000 audience members in 220 performances this year, both in Israel and on tour around the world.

Great progress was made in 2018 towards the realization of the Neve Sha’anan Arts Campus in South to be launched in 2022, a paramount project which will finally provide Batsheva with a home of its own with state-of-the-art facilities, including a dance center, a 550-seat theater and a Black Box theater, to showcase an international and pluralistic program across all disciplines for all audiences.

We wish to thank all the supporters and donors, our colleagues and friends and our great audiences, for making all we do possible.

Warmly, Ohad Naharin and Gili Navot in the studio. Photo: Ascaf
