I have written forty-eight plays, thirty-seven for children and eleven for adults, all staged in various theaters. ‎Over the years, I directed seventy theatrical productions. I performed in fifty stage ‎productions in various theatres like the "Cameri" Theater and the Haifa Theater, ‎engaging in film and TV roles. I served as the Artistic Director of the Haifa Festival ‎for three years, and currently, I hold the position of Artistic Director for a Be'er ‎Sheva-based fringe theater group. Additionally, I founded a children's fringe theater ‎at the Khan Theater in Jerusalem and have been teaching and directing at the Nissan Nativ ‎Acting Studio since 1994, including adult writing workshops, both local and ‎international.‎
I've received twelve awards: five for playwriting, three for direction, and ‎four for best theatrical production. Ten of my plays were translated into various languages, and I've created five ‎bilingual productions.

In a more personal way:
• Theater, for both children and adults, is my life's passion. I see it ‎as a mission and put my heart, love, and pleasure into it‏. ‏
• It's crucial to teach the Arabic language to Hebrew-speaking ‎Israelis from a young age because language and culture go ‎together. By knowing the language, people can better ‎understand the culture, connect with it, and reduce fear and ‎aggression‏.‏
• My works focus on the playful aspects of theatre, such as ‎storytelling, physical theater, pantomime, poetry, and spoken ‎word.‎
• When teaching theater, I emphasize listening, reciprocity, and ‎helping students become more familiar with their unique ‎emotional structure.‎
• Lastly, I believe that in art, especially theater, the path to creation ‎should always involve manual labor.‎‎
