General Information
The Israel Choreographers Association has been working to advance Israeli dance in Israel and abroad. We strive to expose dance to an ever widening variety of audiences, and place dance at the forefront of Israel's cultural scene. The ICA serves as the management body for the choreographers, managing their budgets and providing various services including accounting, public relations, legal aid, third party insurance, subsidy of rehearsal space, national and local advertising of performances and workshops, providing information regarding grant RFPs, training opportunities, and representation of society members before foundations and various supporters in Israel and abroad. At present, we have 54 independent artist members, who are all leaders in their field in Israel and abroad. All our members are professional choreographers and manage their own dance company or create annual dance projects. Our financial supporters include the Ministry of Science Culture and Sport's Department of Dance, Teva Pharmaceuticals, the Municipality of Tel Aviv and other municipalities, Mifal HaPayis, funds and income form tickets & workshops, master classes, projects and performances in Israel and abroad. Yearly budget of the association is about 3,500,000$.
Mission and Objectives

Advancing Israeli dance in Israel and abroad. We endeavor to expose dance to an ever widening variety of audiences, and place dance at the forefront of Israel's cultural scene, and promote projects that use the language of dance for the good of society.

Main Projects / Activities

Alongside our work to support and assist the choreographers themselves in advancing Israeli dance in Israel and abroad. We endeavor to expose dance to an ever widening variety of audiences, and place dance at the forefront of Israel's cultural scene. , the ICA runs different projects: a unique project that brings together professional dancers and severely at- risk teens, for a year of dance training sessions and a joint professional performance. The project provides at risk youth with a window into the world of dance and creates the opportunity for forging relationships with an inspiring role model. Na'im (On the Move), creates opportunities for communities in Israel's social, economic and geographic peripheries to encounter the world of Israeli dance, through creating subsidized dance festivals, workshops and performances in Israel's periphery. International projects using dance and other art forms creating cultural dialog between countries.
