Theater director, acting teacher, dramaturg and translator (b.1987)

B.Ed graduated with honors in Theatre Directing from the Kibbutzim College, Tel Aviv.
Winner of the Rabinovich Foundation award for Best Director (2024), the Best Director award in Haifa International Children’s Theatre Festival (2018), Best Director award (2020) and Best Show award (2022, 2023) in ASSITEJ Israel awards.

Theater, for me, is the art of encounters - a dynamic interplay where creative minds from different disciplines meet a story and actors, actors meet characters and characters engage with an audience, leading to profound self-discovery which is the most important encounter- the one with ourselves. As a director, my primary role is cultivating the optimal environment for these encounters to unfold authentically and to leave a strong impression.
The curiosity and compassion I feel for people serve as my main creative engine, complemented by a passion to explore the elements of the theatrical apparatus and utilize them to tell stories that are uniquely suited for the stage and cannot be conveyed in any other medium.
Throughout my career, I have directed a wide range of productions, including both modern plays and classics, original works and known plays, catering to audiences of adults and children alike. My directorial work spans various settings, encompassing small and large theaters, international festivals, acting schools and fringe halls.
