Batsheva Dance Company, Sadler’s Wells/Riverside Studios, London

Whatever your position on the above, at first sight the artlessly dressed Hebrew youth that filled the Sadler’s Wells stage seemed easily dismissable. Barefoot in cut-offs and T-shirts as if they’d just bowled in off the beach at Haifa, they look too chunky and low-slung to be dancers. The women have bosoms and bums, for [...]
