Description	BIOGRAPHY In 2001 I started my professional dance career in Israel Ballet. From 2002 until 2015 I worked in Zurich Ballet and in 2015-2016 I joined Staatsballett Berlin. During my dance career I’ve performed various classical and modern pieces from current repertoire and achieved multiple awards. From 2018 on, I started working as a ballet teacher/rehearsal director at BA Contemporary Dance in the Zurich University of Arts. In 2018 and 2023 I worked in La Scala and Vienna State Ballet staging Goldberg Variations choreographed by Heinz Spoerli. In 2022 I was a jury member in Prix de Lausanne. DIPLOMAPROJECT With this project my goal was to create a structure for a ballet improvisation class. For decades ballet has had defined and very structured rules, and I wanted to find a concept that complements the needs of participants with their own knowledge of ballet through improvisational tasks, enhance their intrinsic motivation through the process of making choices and developing greater levels of confidence. This class is based on 3 levels, each level having 7 exercises. The progress of each exercise is supported through a specific music concept created by Mladen Dabizljevic.
