A dance, performance, and music event will take place on September 3, 2026, at Ramot Mall in Jerusalem. An original work, 2028/2029, brings the community together in the neighborhood commercial space.
What happens when the neighborhood’s everyday spaces become a living stage for art?
START ART — Body. Coffee. Culture in the Neighborhoods 2026 — a series of dance, performance, and music events taking place in business districts throughout Jerusalem’s neighborhoods, bringing original works into the heart of city life.
The series invites Jerusalem residents to experience professional art close to home — between the neighborhood café, shops, streets, and familiar shopping centers. Through a direct encounter between artists, the community, and local businesses, a unique cultural experience emerges—one that expands the boundaries of the traditional stage and connects art with life itself.
An initiative of the Dance Department, in collaboration with the Department for Business Development and the Music Department of the Jerusalem Municipality and the community administrations, led by Yael — a home for independent dance and performance creators in Jerusalem.
