After watching and experiencing this performance, and seeing them dance how I randomly dance, I now consider anything I do as dancing. I don't regret going back to school on a Friday night, to go to Brooklyn to watch this show. It's extremely hard to gather the perfect words to describe this breathtaking show, it left me speechless. It kept me on the edge of my seat and never bored, always surprised. I was able to understand what each dancer stood for and what drove them to be on that stage. Sadeh21 was nothing like anything I have ever seen before. Every move, every method of transitioning, the beginning and the ending, everything was unique and different. I loved every second of the performance. The only part I disliked was when it ended, because I did not want it to end. I would not mind going back to Brooklyn and watching it again. Batsheva Dance Company, thank you. <br /><br />-S.S #CountyPrepHSDanceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658202452707400073.post-88544997391670511332014-11-21T13:28:28.453-05:002014-11-21T13:28:28.453-05:00One of the most intriguing and amazing shows!

I am so glad I decided to bring a group of 20 NJ high school dance students to the show - the experience has inspired us and our classroom. And what a testament to Naharin's work, that it reaches both the the most discerning modern dance audiences as well as unassuming, urban teens with little experience in the theater.

With so many sequences occurring simultaneously, one had to be overly attentive, so as not to miss any intricate moves. Not a hard feat though, as the ensemble was riveting and, at moments, compiled with humour.

Who knew that human bodies could bend that way while maintaining tremorless balance. The non-instrumental music was interesting and complemented the dancers.

I was riveted and deeply moved by the performance. I wish I could see it again tomorrow night. I am not terribly familiar with Ohad Naharin's full repertoire of work, but I can say that I felt like Sadeh21 reached a whole new level of human depth beyond his earlier works, for example compared to "Echad Mi Yodea".Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12562049536824641533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658202452707400073.post-84545989160456715092014-11-14T21:22:43.604-05:002014-11-14T21:22:43.604-05:00Extraordinary - possibly the best thing I have see...Extraordinary - possibly the best thing I have seen all year.Brandmasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05432158509369127452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658202452707400073.post-25791348723815902682014-11-14T00:15:58.096-05:002014-11-14T00:15:58.096-05:00I have never attended a Batsheva Dance Company per...I have never attended a Batsheva Dance Company performance. Now I am sorry I did not see them sooner. Last night was mesmerizing, hypnotic, and like a shared dream, just as previous bloggers mentioned. I agree with them. I have never seen dancers move with quite the same controlled fluidity. Is that the result of the Gaga technique that I am responding to? I am also curious if Sadeh21 is representative of the level of dance quality in a typical Batsheva performance? I hope so, because I want to see more! There was one movement field — the one with the screams — that seemed weaker than the rest, because the choreography seemed to be an afterthought. The curtain call was a delightful surprise. I look forward to seeing this dance company the next time they come to NYC!CurlyVnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658202452707400073.post-80982893139799416002014-11-13T15:04:28.373-05:002014-11-13T15:04:28.373-05:00No frills, no recherche for glamor.

I was searching for a "New Kind of Beauty" and I found it! Ad Majora Mr. Naharin, you have gone a long wondrous way.
