The Suzanne Dellal Centre for Dance and Theater recently opened a new rooftop studio and renovated rehearsal and performance spaces, thanks to the generosity of the Dellal Family. A project of The Tel Aviv Foundation with the Municipality of Tel Aviv-Yafo and the Israel Ministry of Culture and Sport, the extensions were officially opened by Guy Dellal and family in memory of his parents, Zehava and Jack, in the presence of Mayor Ron Huldai. The event featured fantastic performances by Batsheva Dance Company, the Ironi A School of Dance, and the Maslool – Professional Dance Program at Bikurey Ha’Itim Center.
As the Suzanne Dellal Centre celebrates 30 years, it is also an important part of an incredible story of urban renewal. Led by the establishment of the Center, Neve Tzedek has been completely transformed from a run-down neighborhood into the ‘Soho of Tel Aviv’. Further, Suzanne Dellal has become an internationally renowned center of dance and a vital part of Israel’s cultural landscape.
Guy Dellal reflected on his parents’ wish come true in establishing the Suzanne Dellal Centre to celebrate the life of their daughter and enrich the lives of Tel Avivians.
