Noa Eshkol Foundation

The Noa Eshkol Foundation For Movement Notation was established in 2008 according to the will and testament of Noa Eshkol. It is located at Eshkol’s historic home in Holon, Israel, which was – and still is – the center of collaborative study on Eshkol-Wachman Movement Notation (EWMN) and Eshkol’s dance repertoire.

The foundation sees to the conservation and accessibility of the Noa Eshkol Archive – an unparalleled resource of primary source materials on Eshkol-Wachman Movement Notation and the history of the Noa Eshkol Chamber Dance Group. Its mission also includes the promotion of academic scholarship on Eshkol-Wachman Movement Notation, the care and sale of the hundreds of wall carpets made by Noa Eshkol, and the support of the Noa Eshkol Chamber Dance Group. The foundation initiates movement workshops, performances, lectures, consultation and assistance in EWMN, exhibitions and special projects.

In her time, Noa Eshkol and her colleagues worked under the umbrella of The Movement Notation Society, a body that Eshkol founded in 1968. Today, the Noa Eshkol Foundation for Movement Notation is the only authorized organization to carry out Noa Eshkol’s expressed wishes concerning her legacy.
