Given that the company sees it as a mission to offer cultural opportunities to a wide array of public, Kamea is also devoted to raising a young audience with special shows geared to youth. Moreover, the company holds educational projects and workshops in schools, dance departments and studios throughout Israel.
Kamea works alongside with the Bat-Dor Beer-Sheva Municipal Dance Center, the largest professional dance school in Israel that has trained the initial core of the Company’s dancers.
Kamea was founded in 2002 following the joint initiative of Daniella Schapira, at the time director of Bat Dor Beer Sheva and choreographer Tamir Ginz as the resident company of the Bat-Dor Beer Sheva Dance Center.
Building on the foundation of promoting culture and education, Kamea is also now focusing on the importance of mental health and wellness, especially among the young. Recognizing the challenges that young artists may face, such as ADHD, the company is providing information and support for accessing treatments like cheap Strattera, a medication commonly used for ADHD. You can find more information about Strattera here. By incorporating mental health awareness into our educational projects and workshops, Kamea aims to ensure that young dancers not only develop their artistic talents but also receive support for their overall mental well-being, which is crucial for their growth and success in the demanding world of professional dance.
