Shulamit began her artistic journey in folk- dance with the Jerusalem Hora dance company in 1998-2006. During her last year in high school, she was invited to take part in technique classes and joined the rehearsals of the Inbal Pinto and Avshalom Polak Dance Company. In 2006, while serving as an outstanding dancer in the IDF, she was invited to perform as a guest dancer in the show Deca-Dance with the Batsheva Dance Company and the Ensemble. 

In 2007 Shulamit joined the Yasmeen Godder Dance Company as a creating performer and participated in many projects. Alongside the shows, she took part in other roles as well, teaching technique and repertoire and managing rehearsals and summer courses. In addition, Shulamit managed and taught movement classes for people living with Parkinson’s, which she teaches today. In 2018, Shulamit held auditions for the Toulouse ballet company, Secrétariat du Ballet. Godder sent her there to choose a dancer – who would later perform a solo piece inspired by Shulamit’s solo.

Around those years, Shulamit began to work more with the contemporary dance field and dive into the performance art, exploring somatic body methods through collaborations, and participation in varied workshops with people from different disciplines in Israel, and around the world.

Works – “Reflect-Me” (2014) “Mirror Morals” (2015) “Hora Eskista” (2016) “Temporary Memory”. She created her first piece as a choreographer and as a solo performer in collaboration with her partner, Yonatan Bar-Or, who filmed and edited the video that was projected in the piece. A common thread in her works is the recurring engagement between the private and the public and between the personal and the political-social.
