Israeli born dancer and choreographer, graduate of The Bat-Dor School of Dance and the Thelma Yelin High-school for Performing Arts (…)

Ruttenberg seeks to create works that engage all the senses, not excluding the sense of humor, and to expand the existing audiences for dance. To that aim, she collaborates with artists from different fields, and examines new angles for the presentation and experience of dance.

Ruttenberg continues to produce and present her own work in Israel and abroad. Her Dance-Film Private I’s (Director: Oren Shkedy) has screened at international film festivals (…)
