The Vertigo Dance Company is funded by the Jerusalem Municipality and the division of modern dance in the Ministry of Culture and Sport’s Culture Authority.
Vertigo founders Wertheim and Sha'al both serve as the company’s head director and artistic director. Wertheim was born in 1965 in the United States. In 1990, she graduated from the Rubin Academy of Music and Dance in Jerusalem. While studying at the academy, she became a member of the Jerusalem modern dance group Tamar, where she met Sha'al, whose professional dance experience included the Batsheva Ensemble and the Kibbutz Dance Workshop. Wertheim and Sha'al later married and today have three children.
