Yael Nivron is an actress, writer and an upcoming film director. Moving between these roles, Yael hopes to explore and expose societal taboos and powerful moments in one’s adolescence – which is embodied in the unspeakable moments of everyday life. Her work includes, among others, the theatre play ‘Melting Pot’ about a neighborhood brothel which she co-wrote with the renowned Israeli playwriter Joshua Sobol. Yael is greatly influenced by Robert Bresson and Céline Sciamma. She is inspired by modern dance as she had been a modern dancer for 12 years in her early years. Yael is currently debuting as a director and screenwriter for the short film BOYDEM. In addition, she is working on her first feature film.
