Carolyn Dorfman Dance to Perform at The Heidi Gallery at JSDD

The Heidi Gallery at JSDD located at 310 Eisenhower Parkway, Livingston, will hold its third annual juried group exhibition, The WAE Open, from Thursday, October 10 through Sunday, December 8. The exhibition will feature 62 diverse works from 42 talented New Jersey artists. Admission is free and the gallery will be open from 9 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday.

On Sunday, October 20 from 2 PM to 4 PM, Carolyn Dorfman Dance will perform for free, but participants must register in advance by calling 973-272-7148 or emailing HeidiGallery@JSDD.org. Registration is required because space is limited!

Led by Artistic Director Carolyn Dorfman, the company will explore the human experience through dance, addressing themes of community, connection, and cultural narratives, drawing on her Jewish heritage. One of the dances to be performed is "WAVES," praised by critic Robert Johnson for its "ingenious ensemble sections." It will include students from a workshop that the company will conduct with JSDD earlier in the week. Other dances include excerpts from "The Legacy Project," "Keystone," "Living Room Music," and "Love Suite Love."

The WAE Center is a holistic, creative and expressive arts learning center for people wot disabilities. It operates as a program of the Jewish Service for the Developmentally Disabled of MetroWest, Inc. (JSDD), a multi-purpose agency dedicated to providing an integrated program of community education, advocacy and services for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families.
