On November 15 EMIS students joined local schools at the Arab Jewish Community Center in Jaffa to watch the Batsheva Young Ensemble perform Kamuyot by Ohad Naharin. The performance was captivating, as the dancers sat among the audience and even had audience members stand up to join in the performance. The dancers not only demonstrated a deep connection with each physical movement, but they also made connections with the audience as they actively made eye contact and engaged with students. The intimate setting of the performance enabled the audience to have a unique viewing experience, with the dancers close enough to touch at times. Additionally, with seating on all four sides surrounding the dance floor, the dancers changed directions continually, thus allowing the audience different perspectives for each gesture and motion.
