School Facilities
The School of Visual Theater is located in the ‘Jerusalem Arts Campus’ at the center of the city. The campus, which also houses the Sam Spiegel Film School, Nissan Nativ Acting Studio, and the Eastern Music Center, was designed by architect Meira Kowalsky. The design of the school’s building was closely supervised by Yuval Rimon and Guy Gutman, former directors of the school, to align with the interdisciplinary ideology of the institution.
The interior furnishings of the building were planned, constructed, and installed by the Tech-Poetry team of HaZira. The entire school space includes lighting and multimedia infrastructure, suitable for site-specific performances.
