Eyal Dadon
Choreographer & Sound Designer
Dadon is one of the leading voices in the new generation of Israeli and international choreographers.

His creations have received prestigious awards both in Israel and abroad, including the Israeli Ministry of Culture’s Award for Young Artists (2024), the Jeong Mak Award in South Korea (2021), and First Prize at the International Choreography Competition in Hanover (2014).

Alongside his work as an independent creator since 2011, Dadon leads workshops around the world and teaches the dance technique he developed — A.D.S.R. He also composes original music for his works, including collaborations with Rami Be’er, Artistic Director of the Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company, to create soundtracks for the company’s productions.

"In darkness reminiscent of the lowest points of the ocean, Something thick enveloping every bone, making movement and breathing difficult.
Every glowing spot could be a trap or your own tail.
The line blurs between a lip kiss and gaping jaws.
A forging fight is an act of love while a hug leaves behind only longing for warmth.
Only corals that have been stepped on can grow in the depths of the tar."

״BETSALEL Association״
The Betsalel Association for Culture is a multidisciplinary, pluralistic home for artistic action, dedicated to promoting art as a social bridge between communities, cultures, and individuals. Founded by siblings Tom and Einat Betsalel, the association supports independent creators from all artistic disciplines, with an emphasis on multiculturalism, innovation, and community engagement. Its activities include performances, residency programs, community workshops, gallery exhibitions, and support for diverse populations—from people with special needs to marginalized groups.
Dadon Collective, led by acclaimed choreographer Eyal Dadon, is the leading dance initiative of the association. This dynamic collaboration was born from a shared commitment to creating groundbreaking, boundary-defying art that connects with diverse audiences. Together, they strive to make contemporary performance accessible to all—regardless of location or background.
The association provides a supportive and nurturing framework, offering the Collective comprehensive professional and logistical backing. This foundation empowers the Collective to deepen its artistic and social impact, expand beyond conventional limits, and establish itself as a pioneering force in the contemporary dance landscape.
