To pair the thundering climax of “Thus Spake Zarathustra” with dancers spinning on their butts is Naharin’s kind of humor — like calling an hourlong work “Hora” and not including the Israeli folk dance by that name.

Amanda Spake, 74, a journalist who wrote and edited stories on the environment, health, medicine, social policy and consumer affairs, died Jan. 23 at her home in Shady Side, Md. The cause was a heart ailment, said a friend, Lea Terhune.

Ms. Spake was born in Anaheim, Calif., and had lived in the Washington area since 1970.
