Suzanne Dellal Centre for Dance and Theatre

This guide to the Suzanne Dellal Centre in Tel Aviv traces how two crumbling nineteenth-century schoolhouses, split by a street that once ran straight through this plaza, sat abandoned until a London family named Dellal rebuilt them in memory of their daughter. You'll hear how the Batsheva Dance Company, with Martha Graham among its founding influences, moved in when the site reopened in 1989 and never left, later joined by the Inbal Dance Theatre and the Avshalom Pollak Dance Theater. It follows the street's removal and the choice to let the two schoolhouses face each other across one shared courtyard. Look at the brick and stucco facades restored rather than replaced.
