It’s been a banner year for Ohad Naharin. Just a few months after receiving the prestigious Samuel H. Scripps American Dance Festival Award, the choreographer was named as one of the recipients of a Dance Magazine Award. Naharin will be honored alongside postmodern pioneer Sara Rudner, Balanchine ballerina Allegra Kent, and tapper extraordinaire Jason Samuels Smith on November 9 at the Florence Gould Hall in New York City.
The November issue of Dance Magazine features profiles of all four honorees, and I wrote the section on Naharin. Scroll down and zoom in below to read my article about Naharin and learn more about these other dance greats.
