The approach demands a personal touch from the dancers and is known as the Gaga method. The method requires complete openness to embrace movement material beyond steps and musicality.
Naharin's half-hour piece Minus 16 is a lively choreography performed by a large ensemble.
The dancers move with exuberant joy and acrobatic boldness to the sounds of popular Cuban and Israeli music. The piece premiered at Nederlands Dans Theater II in 1999 and has since been a celebration of the joy of dance and joie de vivre that captivates both dancers and audiences.
SAABA is the fourth work by internationally acclaimed choreographer Sharon Eyal to be presented by the Staatsballett Berlin.
Another and completely new one of her mysterious universes unfolds in an unmistakable manner.
This time, composer Ori Lichtik skillfully weaves pop into the musical composition, which alternates between genres.
Sharon Eyal‘s unmistakable style of hypnotic, pulsating power also unleashes its full effect in this sound spectrum.
