The Theatre of the Body is a school and stage for a physical theatre, founded in 2003 by No'am Me'iri, Nelly Amar and Gil Bachar.
The Theatre of the Body is a first of its kind in Israel, established according to a model of Jacques Lecoq's school of theatre and movement in Paris.
The physical theatre emphasizes the combination among body-movement-space-text. The actor, the dancer and any other stage artist, creates a total theatrical illusion through his virtuosic work.
