David Dorfman Dance's truce songs is a wild and personal meditation on peace with self and others. It asks “what if we surrendered first”; “what if we fought differently”; “what if we changed the roles we play?” And then: how far can we push ourselves in the direction of those imagined outcomes? With visuals by Andrew Schneider, costumes by Naoko Nagata and live music by Lizzy de Lise and Sam Crawford, truce songs is devised dance/theater for all audiences. Performers include David Dorfman, Jack Blackmon, Michaela Ellingson, Lily Gelfand, Kashia Kancey, Nik Owens, Lisa Race and Claudia-Lynn Rightmire. Come experience truces in the making.

Individuals needing special assistance should notify Journee Hardaway at journee@daviddorfmandance.org or (917) 780-2453. Handi-Lift and wheelchair are available onsite. Please note there are flashing lights and a few strobing effects throughout the performance.

“He always has a quality of celebration in his work and, structurally, his choreography can be a bit wild, a bit untamed.” –The New York Times

Mission

for 37 years…

…David Dorfman Dance has created movement that seeks to de-stigmatize the notion of accessibility and interaction in post-modern dance by embracing audiences with visceral, meaningful dance, music and text. By sustaining a vision to create innovative, inclusive, movement-based performance that is radically humanistic, DDD maintains a core commitment to examine and unearth issues and ideas that enliven, incite, and excite audiences in dialogue and debate about social change and a myriad of other topics. In advocating his mission “to get the whole world dancing,” Dorfman’s work has enjoyed broad and diverse audiences nationally and internationally.

DDD has performed extensively throughout North and South America, Great Britain, Europe, and Central Asia. DDD has regularly performed in New York City at major venues including The Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), The Joyce Theater, The Kitchen, Danspace Project/St. Mark’s Church, La Mama Theater, The Duke on 42nd Street, The Met Breuer, and the 92nd St. “Y”/Harkness Dance Festival. David Dorfman, the company’s dancers, and DDD’s artistic collaborators have also been honored with eight New York Dance and Performance (Bessie) Awards.
