History

Prior to the establishment of the school in 1988, Yoram Loewenstein had been running a private acting workshop since 1982. The workshop was run from the living room at no.9 HaAvoda St in Tel Aviv.[https://www.studioact.co.il/en/profile/ Profile] Yoram Loewenstein Performing Arts Studio. Retrieved on 25 August 2024

In 1988, Loewenstein rented a building in Tel Aviv for his school. Actors Ayelet Zurer and Aki Avni were among the first graduates in 1992.

The studio is now located in Hanna Rovina House on 22 Mevaser St. in the Hatikva Quarter of Tel Aviv. The 1960s building was originally built as a daycare center for the children of the neighbourhood.

The studio's actors and directors have staged productions of plays by acclaimed Israeli dramatist, Hanoch Levin. Yuval Segal, then a student at Yoram Lowenstein in the 1990s, appeared in a production of Winter Funeral.[https://e.walla.co.il/item/3249534 A sea of comfort] Walla. 28 July 2019 In 2024, the studio staged a well-received production of Levin's Krum.[https://www.jpost.com/must/article-796019 A timely revival of Hanoch Levin’s ‘Krum’] The Jerusalem Post. 9 April 2024

The studio also stages productions written by foreign dramatists. In 2018, the studio staged production of Arthur Miller's A View from the Bridge with students Tomer Machloof and Niv Sultan.[https://www.habama.co.il/Pages/Description.aspx?Subj=1&Area=1&ArticleID=29951 A View from the Bridge - about honour and more lies] Habima. 16 April 2018[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_SiAGIzGW0 מראה מעל הגשר - בסטודיו של יורם לוינשטיין] YouTube. 2018

In October 2019, a branch of the school was opened in Nazareth to serve the Arab Israeli community. It is a collaborative project between Loewenstein and Hisham Sulliman, a graduate of the Loewenstein studio in Tel Aviv.[https://www.haaretz.com/2019-04-21/ty-article/fauda-star-to-establish-acting-school-in-israels-largest-arab-town/0000017f-f27b-da6f-a77f-fa7fada40000 'Fauda' Star to Establish Acting School in Israel's Largest Arab Town] Haaretz. 21 April 2019[https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/culture/sulimans-journey-from-fauda-to-knesset-to-nazareth-661165 Suliman’s journey from ‘Fauda’ to Knesset to Nazareth] The Jerusalem Post. 6 March 2021
