Batsheva Ensemble 21.11.12

Another new company.  This time it was a collection of pieces called Deca Dance drawn from work by the choreographer Ohad Naharin.  These young dancers were very enthusiastic and energetic.  The whole thing was very exciting and entertaining.

Less entertaining were the ant-Israeli demonstrations outside the theatre and inside the auditorium.  Still, it gave the dancers (who carried on regardless) the first ovation of the night.

My particular favourite was the final section with the company sitting on chairs in a semi circle round the stage.  As the music built and moves and action became more frantic and climactic.

I hope there is a return visit on the cards soon!
