Curtain Up was inititated by the Suzanne Dellal Centre, with the Support of the Ministry of Education and Culture. Along the years, it has become a major event for established local choreographers.
The Curtain Up Festival is a celebration of all onstage arts: performers, producers, costume designers and more. The Festival chooses a different group of dancers every year to spot the next dancing superstars and get them featured in the festival.
This festival gives independent choreographers the opportunity to present fully produced performances with support in all aspects of production, including lighting and costume design, technical support, public relations, advertising campaigns, and income from ticket sales. Each year, established local dance artists are appointed to identify new talent to participate in Curtain Up. These mentors guide them through the creation process, culminating in three weeks of performance throughout Israel, at the Suzanne Dellal Centre, and again the following summer as part of Summer Dance. Curtain Up is supported by the Dance Department of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport and produced by the Israel Festival.

Many of today’s top Israeli choreographers began their professional careers as part of this project, including Barak Marshall, Inbal Pinto, Emanuel Gat, Liat Dror & Nir Ben-Gal, Vertigo Dance Company, and many more.
