More Culture!

Thanks to my friend Sarah (www.lavalove.org) I was introduced to some of the folks at one of Israel’s best dance troupes – Batsheva (www.batsheva.co.il). Last night I drove down (up? across?) to the Suzanne Dellal dance center in Tel Aviv (pictured) to check out their new show called Bertolina. It was amazing. One of the best contemporary dance shows I have ever seen. The dancers were incredible, the costumes were beautiful and the music was wonderful.
Then I found out that all next week is a contemporary dance festival here in Ramallah (here’s the schedule -

Who knew that I would move all the way over to Ramallah and see more cultural events than I ever did in New York?
Funny funny life.
