  PROGRAM NOTES

“Israel’s foremost dance company…”
—The New Yorker

“With his athletic dancers and provocative choreography, Naharin carves out a world where madness waltzes with grace.”
—The Washington Post

“The Batsheva dancers are a fearless and dedicated bunch. Their dancing has a trenchant and boundary-pushing quality not typically seen in many American companies… [Naharin’s] dances are full of that heady, visceral stuff of life—love, sex, violence, ambition, hanging on and letting go.”
—The DanceView Times

“The Naharin style … is certainly infectious. His fluid, hyperathletic, gestural vocabulary is bigtent: Mr. Naharin doesn't squelch his dancers' creativity; rather, their individual styles fold comfortably into his. So, for that matter, do the martial arts, contact improvisation, and club dancing…”
—The New York Times
