Daniel Gwirtzman Dance Company to Present SUMMER MIX at Kitchen Theatre in Ithaca
The program features a premiere of Flashpoint alongside excerpts from Encore.
Daniel Gwirtzman Dance Company announces Summer Mix from July 16-19, 2026 at Kitchen Theatre Company, 417 West State, MLK, Jr. St., Ithaca, NY 14850. Performances: July 16 at 2pm and 7pm, July 17 at 7pm, July 18 at 2pm and 7pm, and July 19 at 2pm. Tickets are $35 ($20 for students) and can be purchased now.
Summer Mix, an accessible, entertaining program of dance, combines the old with the new, a visual playlist bringing together favorites from the repertory with a premiere. The mix includes joyful excerpts from the Company's acclaimed evening-length theatrical dance Encore, which premiered at New York City's Joyce SoHo in 2007 and has never fallen out of the repertory. Each performance will be followed by a brief conversation with the Company, offering audiences the opportunity to engage directly with the dancers and choreographer.
The new work, Flashpoint, was developed during an invitation-only residency at the American Dance Festival in Durham, NC during the summer or 2024. Flashpoint explores the contours of relationships, the push and pull of harmony and strife within our lives, and the lines separating intimacy from violence. The dance traces the contours of relationships, exposing moments that pivot on a dime and ignite into conflict, a metaphor for the tensions and drama playing out in our world.
