Londiwe Khoza: grappling with gaga

Rays of Tel Aviv sunshine stream in from the skylights, illuminating the studio where Batsheva’s The Young Ensemble, the junior troupe of Israel’s renowned Batsheva Dance Company, rehearses daily. Londiwe Khoza, 23, stands alert amid the international assortment of preternaturally talented dancers. Together, the group shifts seamlessly, like a school of fish, their serpentine spines twisting and their limbs deftly sculpting the space. Later they whirl with dizzying speed before tilting, daringly off-kilter and tearing across the floor.
