Yoram Loewenstein Performing Arts Studio (Hebrew: יורם לוונשטיין סטודיו לאמנויות הבמה) is an acting school, and a theater located in Hatikva Quarter, a neighbourhood of Tel Aviv in Israel. The vocational school was founded in 1988.[1]

History

[edit]

Prior to the establishment of the school in 1988, Yoram Loewenstein had been running a private acting workshop since 1982. The workshop was run from the living room at no.9 HaAvoda St in Tel Aviv.[2]

In 1988, Loewenstein rented a building in Tel Aviv for his school. Actors Ayelet Zurer and Aki Avni were among the first graduates in 1992.[2]

The studio is now located in Hanna Rovina House on 22 Mevaser St. in the Hatikva Quarter of Tel Aviv. The 1960s building was originally built as a daycare center for the children of the neighbourhood.[2]

The studio's actors and directors have staged productions of plays by acclaimed Israeli dramatist, Hanoch Levin. Yuval Segal, then a student at Yoram Lowenstein in the 1990s, appeared in a production of Winter Funeral.[3] In 2024, the studio staged a well-received production of Levin's Krum.[4]

The studio also stages productions written by foreign dramatists. In 2018, the studio staged production of Arthur Miller's A View from the Bridge with students Tomer Machloof and Niv Sultan.[5][6]

In October 2019, a branch of the school was opened in Nazareth to serve the Arab Israeli community. It is a collaborative project between Loewenstein and Hisham Sulliman, a graduate of the Loewenstein studio in Tel Aviv.[7][8]

Maya Puder, a former student and aspiring actress, was murdered at the age of 25 at the Re'im music festival massacre on October 7 2023.[9]
