Among her works: ‘Trained’, ‘On a faithful friend’, ( with Keren Ida Nathan) ‘Homonimi’, ‘MY TRUE SELF revisited' (for Fattoria Vittadini Dance Company 2011, Revisited 2017), Some Fish Swim Up the River to Die (Curtain Up Fest. 2011), ‘If It’s Fun’ - by The Defaults of Self Indulgence' aka Lee Meir & Maya Weinberg (Tanztage Fest. 2014 Sophiensaele, Berlin and Tel Aviv Museum of Art ), and ‘The Extended Book Practice’  ( ‘ausland’ Berlin,  2016, Petach Tikva Museum of Art, within the exhibition ‘Bi-bli-o-logia’: The Book as Body. ) While House - with ‘The Instrument’- Maya M.

At 2018-2019 Weinberg created the work: 'Missspelled' In Collaboration with Moran Sanderovich, Hila Lahav and Nattan Dobkin.
