I’m very excited to see Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company returning to TITAS. Israel consistently produces great artists. Rami’s work has always intrigued me. I find his work to be full of abandon. The choreography and the dancers do not hold back. There’s lots of risk in the work and the movement, and I love that.

Like every good dance master, he demands strong technique and a musical ear from his performers, but emphasizes dancers who stand out from the crowd and can play a variety of characters with subtlety and nuance.
