My Favorite Things (2007), choreographed by Emanuel Gat, is a meditative solo danced to John Coltrane’s interpretation of the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic. Like Coltrane’s music, the work is an intricate blend of spontaneity and precision.

"If you want to see the future of dance, take a long look at Emanuel Gat... Emanuel Gat, one of the sensations of the Jacob’s Pillow festival this summer, isn’t afraid to mix Schubert and Freud, Stravinsky and salsa."
– The Kansas City Star

"...When Gat dances, he brings to stage unique performance qualities based on instinct, and his perfect timing seems to be innate. Alone on stage – in his solo My Favorite Things set to tunes by John Coltrane – Gat was totally immersed in each moment on stage. With precision and attentiveness, he secreted just the right amount of energy needed for each move. Like a contained volcano, Gat always seemed to have hidden torrents inside. Some might call it charisma."
– Ora Brafman, The Jerusalem Post
