Ohad Naharin

Choreographer

Israeli choreographer Ohad Naharin has been one of the most influential figures in the world of dance since the late 1970s, when he made his choreographic debut at the Kazuko Hirabayashi Studio in New York. Appointed as artistic director of Tel Aviv's renowned Batsheva Dance Company in 1990, Naharin in the same year launched the company’s junior division. In the intervening period, he has created and directed more than 30 productions for both companies. Naharin also developed GAGA, an innovative movement language based on research into heightening sensation and imagination. Still unapologetically radical in his ideas and approach, Naharin's World Dance Day message of 2018 urged his fellow choreographers to "let go of old ideas for new, better ones." And, he added, "We must always remember to dance a little every day." (Photo: Screenshot.)
