I think Ohad is exactly right about not looking to or predicting the future. I also appreciate his comment about being un-political as he presents his overall body of work. His work is very human and expresses a very raw sense of how we emote, relate, and believe innately, though is approached and delivered in a personal and deliberate way. I've only seen one of his works performed live by Cedar Lake Ensemble, but it spoke volumes to his study of composition; and also to his particular political/religious views - I didn't agree necessarily with what I interpreted from the work concerning that but I thought what he was able to portray was masterful beyond anything else I've seen in the dance/theatre venue. I think Charlie gave an awful interview and knew nothing about Ohad and the importance of his impact in the dance world internationally....maybe he should do his research or at least pretend to care? His questions and mood is another perfect example as to why the arts and dance are failing miserably in the US today! Sorry Charlie!
