Sharon VerghisNovember 25 2006. New York has been in the grip of a late autumn deluge and thenarrow cobbled streets in this still heavily industrial part oftown have become miniature watercourses that require some degree ofathletic prowess to traverse. Naharin the 54-year-old head of the acclaimed Batsheva DanceCompany carries no umbrella and is soaked to the skin waterstreaming in rivulets down his close-cropped head slowingmomentarily as they encounter forbiddingly stern eyebrows beforepicking up pace down the collar of his rumpled parka. He leaves atrail of water across the lobby his shoes squishing noisily andextravagantly in the otherwise quiet space but the man himselflooks quite unconcerned. He blinks at me with watery dark eyes noteven bothering to attempt to swipe his wet brow as he shakes myhand… There’s plenty apart from politics to keep those creative juicesflowing. Recent works include a triple bill called Shalosh(Three) which aired on the company’s recent tour of theUnited States and a smaller work Furo (“bathtub” inJapanese). He’ll take a short break home in Israel before starting on a newwork called Max. I’m curious to know what he does torelax. “I like to watch trees grow. ” Really? He nodssmiling.
