A turning point for Israel's magnificent, daring Batsheva Dance Company, as the great Ohad Naharin steps down as Artistic Director while staying on as choreographer.  Will we see a difference?  Naharin's movement style is absolutely unique; the question is whether training and recruitment without him in charge will keep that style intact (or even whether the company would want to).  In any event, this new Naharin piece should display his usual combination of intense physicality with formal rigor.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  The obvious play is Modern Israeli at Miss Ada -- if you can get in.
