Details

David Dorfman is a choreographer, dance artist, creative director of David Dorfman Dance, and a professor at Connecticut College. Come join us in watching and discussing his most recent work, "truce songs"—a wild and personal meditation on peace with self, others, and the world. Employing the company’s trademark merging of highly athletic dancing with poignant emotion, this abstract work of movement art is devised dance-theater for all audiences. Dancing bodies serve as conduits for momentary peace as the company mines the depths of our power-crazed existence looking for foibles and laughter—perhaps our most power-full tool of all. truce songs features visuals by Andrew Schneider, costumes by Naoko Nagata, and live, original music by Lizzy de Lise and Sam Crawford.
