Daniel Gwirtzman Dance Company to Present IN THE STUDIO at NYC Center
Choreographer Daniel Gwirtzman will lead a free, intimate Q&A at 131 W. 55th Street.
For decades, Daniel Gwirtzman Dance Company has pulled back the curtain on how dance is made. This June, they open the studio doors wider than ever - inviting participants in for an intimate conversation about the creative process behind their newest work.
The Company will be In The Studio at New York City Center on June 25 at 1pm and June 26 at 3pm. To reserve free tickets, advance tickets are required, please visit here.
Hear directly from the dancers about what drives and challenges them and from choreographer Daniel Gwirtzman about the ideas shaping the work. Then it's your turn: ask questions, share your thoughts, and become part of the conversation. No stage. No distance. Just dance, up close. A rare chance to meet the art before it meets the stage. Free and open to all. Seats are limited.
Says the choreographer, who has been publicly out as a queer artist since he began showing his work professionally in New York circa 1995:
"Scheduled to align with New York City's PRIDE, In The Studio features the same-sex partnering for which DGDC has been known since our inception. Non-heteronormative coupling has been a trademark of the Company's repertory. Highlighted rep that features gender parity and disrupts the leading lady in the arms of the leading man includes Dreamland, danced by Derek Crescenti and Johnny Mathews, as well as sections of the new Flashpoint, danced by Vanessa Martínez de Baños and Madison Hertel. In The Studio will have a festive, vibrant, party atmosphere, a fun way to celebrate the spirit of PRIDE and usher in the weekend."
Dancers include Katie Bateman, Derek Crescenti, Daniel Gwirtzman, Vanessa Martínez de Baños, Johnny Mathews, and Aria Roach.
