A special version was created for the 1998 Holland Dance Festival featuring famous Dutch older dancers.
“Through Nana’s Eyes” became one of the most popular pieces by Itzik Galili. As assistant to Galili, Michelson traveled to Russia, Sweden and the Czech Republic to teach and remount the work of this award winning choreographer.

The Four Elements of Dance
by: Dylan Newcomb
From Virtual Angels in down town The Hague,to contemporary perfomances seen throughout Europe. Meet choreographer and performer Dylan Newcomb.
In this 2-day workshop you will be led through the process of how Newcomb approaches dance - by using the 'four elements' of sensation, action, image, and emotion. All four of these elements will be explored and played with in how they can each inspire, motivate and enrich our dancing and choreographing.
Both days will start with a warming up/class, getting deeper in touch with your body. The format for the workshop will be a combination of exercises, guided explorations, improvisations and short phases of set material. Dance is not just meant to surprise the audience, it is most certainly meant to surprise the dancer as well...
