Batsheva Ensemble present Deca Dance

Deca Dance manifests as a well crafted and constantly evolving choreographic collage. Explosively energetic at times, introspective and intimate at others but always uninhibited, vibrant and moving. The subtler commentaries and political landscape of the contemporary dance were matched and occasionally overwritten by a more overt political activism of disruption which has followed this tour internationally. As one dancer expressed, for better or worse it is part of the dance now. Lest this usurp the stage from the dance itself, a bigger spectacle was generated when a gaggle of colourfully dressed women were plucked from the audience to share in a joyous and sexy dance number which had the audience laughing with glee. How wonderful!
