One of peace, harmony and faith, the story of Judas Maccabees forms the basis for the Jewish Festival of Lights, Hanukkah, and is often defined as history's first war for religious freedom.

Hofesh is a seriously cool guy. Normally I subscribe to the Oscar Wilde School of art criticism, but in this special case, the person behind the art is worth a mention. In a world that is often both glamorously and infamously depicted with power and fame hungry choreographers/directors lording over desperate dancers reduced to human body-things, Hofesh's warm presence is calming in its quiet power, exacting in its purpose without a totalitarian bent. Granted, I've only danced with him for a total of perhaps 6 hours over the course of 4 years, but I stand by the assessment. Hofesh Shecter is really, really cool.
Whether dancing principal or soloist roles, soloist with ABT, Misty Copeland, glows. At present, a soloist with the company, her presence on the stage demands attention; and she gets it.
