Netta Yerushalmy is an award-winning choreographer and performer. Based in New York City since 2000, her work aims to engage with audiences by imparting the sensation of things as they are perceived, not as they are known, and to challenge how meaning is attributed and constructed. Her aesthetic and ethical commitment is to generating questions rather than answers.

She's been recognized with a 2022 United States Artists Fellowship, a Guggenheim Fellowship, Princeton Arts Fellowship, Research Fellowship from New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, Toulmin Fellowship for Women Leaders in Dance at the Center for Ballet and the Arts at New York University, New York City Center Choreography Fellowship, Jerome Robbins Bogliasco Fellowship, Foundation for Contemporary Arts Award, National Dance Project Grant, LMCC’s Extended Life, and a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship.

She has created more than one hundred dances, including PARAMODERNITIES (Jacob’s Pillow/NYLA co-commission, 2018), IN CONVERSATION WITH MERCE (Cunningham Centennial, NYU/Skirball, 2019), LIKE LITHOS (Guggenheim Works & Process, 2019), HELGA AND THE THREE SAILORS (Danspace Project, 2014, Joyce Theater 2015), PICTOGRAMS (American Dance Festival, 2014, Alvin Ailey Foundation remount, 2018) among numerous others. 

As a performer, Yerushalmy has danced in the companies of Pam Tanowitz, Doug Varone, Joanna Kotze, and others. She received her BFA in dance from NYU's Tisch school, where she is currently on faculty.
