Hofesh Shechter - Dancing to Political Times

In the Studio

Available for over a year

Hofesh Shechter was born in Israel, but increasingly disillusioned by conflict and the politics of the region, he came to London in 2002, and is now one of the most exciting and sought after choreographers in the UK. Ten years ago he established his own company, which now tours the world performing to global audiences. Razia Iqbal follows the evolution of a new show with a new group of dancers, from the initial idea to inspiring the dancers who ultimately bring his vision to life with energy and passion.
