Minus 16
An audience favorite, Israeli choreographer Ohad Naharin's clever and humorous full-company piece breaks down the barrier between audience and performer. Set to music ranging from Dean Martin to cha-cha, mambo, techno and traditional Israeli music, the piece's audio track includes interviews with HSDC dancers.

Ohad Naharin (Choreographer) was born in Israel and began his dance training with the Batsheva Dance Company, where he has been artistic director since 1990. He continued his studies at Juilliard School of Music and the School of American Ballet in New York and performed with the Martha Graham Company and Maurice Béjart. In 1980, Naharin made his choreographic debut in Kazuko Hirabayashi studio in New York, where he studied and worked with Maggie Black, David Gordon, Gina Buntz and Billy Siegenfeld. His works have been staged by many companies around the world including the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, Nederlands Dans Theater, Frankfurt Ballet, Rambert Dance Company, Ballet Nacional Madrid, Cullberg Ballet and Opèra National de Paris.

The revival of Minus 16 is sponsored by Meg and Tim Callahan and Tim Schwertfeger and Gail Waller.
