For years I searched for my place in the world of culture and art.
After a decade as a dance movement and expressive arts therapist, and as a creator on stage, after working with all kinds of groups – children and teens, stage artists, people with disabilities and special needs, people with eating disorders, women and men of all ages – through movement, dance, theatre and singing, and after bringing that healing to the stage, I understood my uniqueness: the combination of healing and change with the world of the performing arts.

“Tal from Tal Cohen is…an accomplished piece of theatre, and certainly a useful addition to a worldwide dialogue”
Dancer Tal Cohen puts on a dance show that describes the eating disorder she suffered from for about a decade and her recovery. “I express in my body the madness around the lack of self-love and vomiting.”
This original solo performance follows the story of a girl-woman-dancer’s experiences with the eating disorder bulimia.
