A solitary runner on a moving conveyor belt provides the backdrop to 18 Batsheva dancers who carom athletically around the stage in Last Work, Ohad Naharin's dynamic 2015 exploration of human motion. Set to a pulsing original score by Grischa Lichtenberger, the evening-length work swings from highly charged to poetically still moments that provide a deep, emotional underpinning to an otherwise abstract study in kinetics. Naharin is a master of the possibilities of the human body. Batsheva Dance Company has been critically acclaimed and popularly embraced as one of the foremost contemporary dance companies in the world.
Batsheva Dance Company is Israel's biggest company, maintaining an extensive performance schedule locally and internationally with over 250 performances and over 75,000 spectators per year. Hailed as one of the world's preeminent contemporary choreographers, Ohad Naharin assumed the role of Artistic Director in 1990, and propelled the company into a new era with his adventurous curatorial vision and distinctive choreographic voice. Naharin is also the originator of the innovative movement language, Gaga, which has enriched his extraordinary movement invention, revolutionized the company's training, and emerged as a growing international force in the larger field of movement practices for both dancers and non-dancers.
