Tabula Rasa
Renowned Israeli choreographer Naharin creates a virtuoso tour de force. A haunting, beautiful expression of human relationships, Tabula Rasa is danced to music by Estonian composer Arvo Pärt. The 10 dancers represent men and women searching for love and eventually finding solace in each other's temporary embrace. The Guardian of London says that Tabula Rasa "showcases the best of Naharin's talent, both tender and oddly beautiful."

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.

Tabula Rasa is underwritten in part by Sydney and Sondra Berman Epstein and Randy A. White.
