"Ohad Naharin at BAM Blew Me Away"
"Naharin's piece Three at BAM was so beautiful I could almost not bear it. Simple and complex, soft and powerful, giddy and solemn, it was the kind of piece you want to linger over." Read review...

"Naharin and Batsheva, at the Guggenheim's Works & Process Series"
"Before the event began, there were two dancers on stage with no music, going through movements that looked fluid and intensional, but in a free sort of way. That flow is achieved through a highly defined movement language, developed by Naharin and called GAGA...The result is interestingly human in an unexpected way." Read review...

"Ohading It"
"At almost exactly the same time I started "Ranting Details", I became obsessed with a certain man in the dance world known as Ohad Naharin...Explaining his work is always a challenge for me because the excitement it provokes from my body while I'm sitting in my seat is unlike any other art I've seen. At moments it transcends dance into absolute euphoria and I'm constantly in awe of his unique movement and the way he fits it to his bizarre choices of music." Read review...

"This is the mercurial, shape-shifting world of Ohad Naharin's Batsheva Dance Company. Dancers inhabit a vacillating physicality that takes them from human, to dancer, to animal, to machine, all in one phrase. It is a highly disorienting, potentially nauseating transfiguration of the body, and it is genius." Read review...

"They're introspective and sensuous, hunkering down to sway torso and pelvis as if they were so many waves in the sea, or recumbent, stretching and folding their legs like languid odalisques." Read review...

"Ohad Naharin's "Three," at the BAM Opera House through Saturday, is what people like to call a "pure movement piece." It's an annoying expression in any case, as movement can never be wiped clean of history and metaphor (and why would you want it to be?), but it's especially off when applied to Naharin's gestural idiom."

"Their dance is a kind you have not seen before, that comes out of a way of working that you have not seen before, and that I now desperately want to study ...This... method...now known as GAGA, involves a seemingly semi-intuitive exploration of the physical self based on certain guiding...images...regarding movement centers in the body. If this description sounds searching and tenuous, that is because it is, and this way of working the body is that way as well." Read review...
