Why we love it: It is an incredible thing to behold when an artist finds her own distinctive voice within her practice. Israeli choreographer/dancer Sharon Eyal is an awe-inspiring example of just that. After 23 years with the Batsheva Dance Company, Eyal decided to forge her own creative path. In 2009, she left the company to create pieces for dance companies all over the world, utilizing the elements of Batsheva's "Gaga" style, an intense, highly self-aware style of movement authorship. In 2005, Eyal joined forces with her life partner, Tel Aviv party producer Gai Behar, to create stunning works with an authentic nightclub aesthetic.
