Ze'eva Cohen is a professor and Head of Dance at Princeton University, having founded the Dance Program and served as its coordinator since 1969. Ms. Cohen came to New York from her native country, Israel, in 1963 to study at the Juilliard School and perform with the Anna Sokolow Dance Company. She was a founding member of Dance Theater Workshop, where she worked as choreographer and dancer from the mid-sixties to the early seventies. In 1971, she initiated her pioneering and highly acclaimed solo dance repertory program, which toured throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, and Israel for twelve years under the auspices of the National Endowment for the Arts Residency Touring Dance Program. The repertory included commissioned works, reconstructions, and her own original choreography comprising a total of twenty-eight solos by twenty-three choreographers. In 1983, she founded Ze'eva Cohen and Dancers, a company for which she developed a diverse group repertory. The Company performed at the Riverside Dance Theater and the Joyce Theater in New York and on national tours. Ze'eva has also choreographed works for the Boston Ballet, Munich Tanzproject, Batsheva Dance Company, Inbal Dance Theater of Israel, the Alvin Ailey Repertory Dance Company, and many other national dance companies. Since 1996, she has been choreographing, producing, and performing NEGOTIATIONS, a program dealing with cultural, political and social issues, and FEMALE MYTHOLOGIES, an assemblage of solos and duets focusing on women's myths and lives. Her last commissioned work, “Meditation on a Square,” was premiered in April 2006 for Bodiography Contemporary Ballet of Pittsburgh with support from the Heinz Foundation.
