After a culturally stimulating start to June, mixing the top multidisciplinary arts festival in Israel with a week of eccentric Gay Pride, the country needed a couple of weeks to recover. Once those weeks pass, however, it will be time to get back on that cultural wagon with a brilliant dance performance hailing all the way from Detroit.
As a part of the dance series at Tel Aviv's Israeli Opera House, one of the United States' leading contemporary dance companies is dancing its way over to the Holy Land for a debut appearance. Under the artistic direction of Laurie Eisenhower, the Eisenhower Dance company is marking its 25th anniversary with an explosive program, which combines visually striking numbers, electrifying imagery and movement that extends past the physical realm and into the emotional sphere of human relationships.

While the dancers will perform four captivating performances at the Israeli Opera House from June 28-July 1, their visit – sponsored by the U.S. Embassy – starts slightly before they hit the Tel Aviv stage with a series of workshops and classes in various communities across the country. The goal: to emphasize multicultural activities in mixed communities (where Jews and Arabs coexist).

During their visit, the company will perform an exciting program called, "The Light Show." The purpose of The Light Show is to connect four choreographers with four different lighting designers and create a unique backdrop to accompany each work. The result: an electrifying evening of images and movement. The featured performances include: Bolero, Spectrum, Threads, Light Play, and Laissez Faire.
