Tabula Rasa by Ohad Naharin -- Hubbard Street Dance Chicago

The world-renowned contemporary dance company Hubbard Street Dance Chicago performs Tabula Rasa by choreographer Ohad Naharin. Ohad Naharin's choreography is notable for its movement quality - especially for its smoothness within technical difficulty. ''Tabula Rasa'' radiates a general sense of loss. The music by Arvo Part in the first half has an affecting melancholy as a violin melody repeatedly builds and fades, while the second half of the work is danced through a textured melodic haze, as the dancers push and pull into Mr. Naharins athletically propelled shapes with ease. (Anna Kisselgoff, New York Times) Tabula Rasa will be performed as part of the 2009-10 Chicago season during the Winter Series, December 3-6, 2009.

Nice...love it

Breathtaking and brillant choreography. I wonder how long it takes him to choreograph his pieces. I would love to see one of them live. Hubbard street of course executes it beautifully.

Incredible. Especially at 0:44 onwards - it's like watching a fugue in movement. I can't wait to see your December performance.
