A contemporary Israeli dance troupe, Batsheva Dance Company is famed for its fearless full-bodied performances and innovative movement language developed by its artistic director Ohad Naharin. A vibrant energy, hungry physicality and world-influenced style has characterized the company since its beginnings in 1964 when it was founded with the help of Martha Graham. In the hands (and feet!) of Batsheva, contemporary dance becomes immediate, powerful, emotionally arresting and soulful. Don't miss this international sensation when they bring the West Coast premiere of Decadance 2017, a repertory program of Batsheva's celebrated works, for their Segerstrom Center debut.
