Join the Journey of Movement, Connection, and Change

Your donation will help us to

Support Significant Contemporary Israeli Creation

Your contribution will enable us to bring performances that invite audiences into a space of connection, emotional processing and meaningful dialogue.

Each year, we create new works performed on stages across Israel and around the world, crafted by a leading artistic team with countless hours in the studio.
Support creation that connects people and provides a space for reflection and meaning.

Support Communities Through Art

In times of crisis, our art becomes a space for connection and relief. This year, in response to the challenging circumstances, we held dozens of performances in evacuation centers for displaced communities from northern and southern Israel, offering moments of respite and comfort.
Your contribution will enable us to continue reaching communities in need of strength and support.

Invest in the Next Generation

Your contribution will help us expand the activities of our schools for children, youth, and adults, including those in underserved areas, providing young people with access to tools for self-expression, creativity, and professional excellence.
Join us in nurturing a new generation of dancers and creators, making the art of dance accessible to every child and youth.

Support for the Senior Community

At Kolben Dance, we believe that dance is much more than movement – it is connection, meaning, and belonging.
We operate two dance companies for adults aged 45–80+, performing at festivals and events across Israel and around the world. Your support will enable us to continue providing this community not only with a place to dance but with a vibrant and thriving social space – a place of belonging, deep human connections, personal growth, joy, and true resilience in everyday life.

Support Performances that Build Bridges Between Cultures

Kolben Dance proudly represents Israeli dance at international festivals, connecting audiences across the globe and building cultural bridges on the world’s largest stages.
Your support will help us continue showcasing Israeli dance on the global stage.

For 28 years, we have been working from Jerusalem, driven by our belief in the power of dance to serve as a bridge of connection, inspiration, and hope. As a non-profit organization, our art is much more than creative expression – it is a tool for personal and social empowerment.

In moments when life demands strength and solidarity, our movement becomes a space for breath, emotional processing, and connection. Every performance, workshop, and initiative we lead offers an opportunity to build personal and communal resilience through the language of movement.

With your support, we can continue to create these spaces – on stages, within communities, and in places where connection and support are most needed.

Amir Kolben, the founder and artistic director of Kolben Dance, is one of the most influential figures in contemporary Israeli dance.

A former dancer with Batsheva Dance Company, Professor Emeritus of the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance , and recipient of the 2024 Aric Einstein Prize, Amir’s creations invite audiences on a unique intellectual and emotional journey.
