The “Nissan Nativ Acting Studio”, was founded in 1963 by Nissan Nativ. Deeply influenced by Étienne Decroux, he made up his mind to educate for the theatre in the west European way rather than the east European way that was appreciated in Israel that time.
Through the years, the Studio has become the leading school in Israel for performing arts.

The Studio aspires to create an infrastructure for the theater that is the spokesperson of reality, and that at the same time is not afraid to criticize and challenge it. The Studio’s activities function in the here and now – from the heart of Israeli creativity – while delving deep into international sources of culture that are no less important than our own.
