Repertoire

Minus 16

Ohad Naharin

Featuring an eclectic score ranging from Dean Martin to mambo, techno to traditional Israeli music, Ohad Naharin’s Minus 16 uses improvisation and Naharin’s acclaimed Gaga method, a unique movement language that breaks down old habits, pushing the dancers to challenge themselves in new ways. The work is unique for removing the barrier between performers and spectators. Minus 16 not only delights in its own wackiness, but also celebrates the joy of dancing. The piece has elements of unpredictability and fun that makes each performance of Minus 16 delightfully different.
