David Dorfman Dance (A)Way Out of My Body

GREETINGS FROM ALL OF US AT DANCERS’ WORKSHOP

Thank you for being here with us for this weekend’s performances celebrating the artistry of David Dorfman Dance! Dancers’ Workshop chose to support this amazing company– during the pandemic, a vulnerable time for us all- as our very first Commissioned Artist- in-Residence. When the pandemic struck, dance companies across the world canceled tours and performances. Many companies folded, dance artists headed home to stay with families, theaters went dark and audiences were flooded with “home made” videos. My reason for choosing to support DDD was direct and simple…. to ensure the company’s future. David’s inclusive creative process, his voice and his company’s work are vital to the dance world. David so beautifully crafts the personal stories of being human into dance theater. It is important to him to have extraordinary dancers and musicians, of all ages and diversity who can contribute to his creative process and express virtuosic ideas on a relatable scale, thus providing our world necessary reflective moments. There is also always the delightful additional ingredients of his kindness and his endearing humor. Throughout the past two years, he and many of his company members have fulfilled DW’s needs as choreographers, teachers and administrative support. Together we have stayed strong!

I ask you to watch closely and let this company “move” you.

Gratefully, Babs
