Batsheva Dance Company - Deca Dance 2008

Work:: Batsheva Dance Company (S1080567727)

Batsheva Dance Company founded by Martha Graham in 1964, entered a new era in 1990 with the appointment of Israeli choreographer Ohad Naharin as Artistic Director. Naharin revolutionised dance in Israel, turning Batsheva performances into cult events and capturing new young audiences at home and abroad.

Production:: Deca Dance 2008 (T02015291351)

An explosion of colour, movement and music. Unforgettable performances by extraordinary dancers. Highly energized, daring and humorous dance from Israel's Batsheva Dance Company in a programme of works specially devised to showcase the dazzling breadth of choreographer Ohad Naharin's invention. Deca Dance 2008 features ten scenes from his most celebrated works. From stylized aggression and a fierce lust for life, to capricious dream worlds, Deca Dance 2008 reflects Naharin's vision of the Company as a meeting place for artists of all disciplines. Deca Dance 2008 includes excerpts from Ohad Naharin's works MAX, Telophaza, Three, Naharin's Virus, Moshe, Zachacha, Z/na and Anaphaza. Stunning movement set to thrilling soundtracks embracing everything from classical music to rock and hip hop to Israeli and Arab folk music. If you thought contemporary dance wasn't for you, think again! Run time approx. 1 hour 40 minutes
