Oeuvre: Uprising

NDT 1 Dances Schechter's groovy assaults to the senses, Uprising and In Your Rooms, from a call to uprising to a search for political engagement.

Hofesh Shechter is a choreographer who uses dance to make powerful statements in quite an oblique way. He does not define a storyline or delineate strong characters that can catch the audience’s sympathy. Rather, he combines the theatrical elements to suggest ideas and create moods, presenting them in disjointed fragments that the audience must put together after reflection.
