Description
About David Dorfman and David Dorfman Dance
In 1987, David Dorfman founded David Dorfman Dance (DDD) with the intention of creating politically and socially relevant dance work. Now, 35 years later, David has become a mentor and inspiration to a new generation of dancers and choreographers while continuing his lifelong mission of kinetic diplomacy.
Creating works that hit at the heart of the human condition while radiating joy from our collective humanity, to experience a David Dorfman Dance performance is to witness a belief and lifelong dedication to the resilience of community and the human spirit.
“…[Dorfman] has never shied away from openhearted explorations of self and society, channeling big ideas into raw hyper-athletic movement that calls for go-for-broke dancers.” -The New York Times
(A)WAY OUT OF MY BODY:
(A)Way Out of My Body investigates the “out of body” experience as a metaphor for our body politic. David Dorfman propels dancers through space and time in a search of personal truths. With breath-taking lighting and visual design by theater-maker Andrew Schneider and an original score by the company's four-person house band, led by singer/songwriter Elizabeth de Lise, Dorfman’s newest work beckons the audience into the otherworldly-ness of dreams, desires, and connectivity, as well as potential new worlds awaiting discovery.
In collaboration for the first time with Obie-award winning interactive electronics artist Andrew Schneider (YOUARENOWHERE), David and his company of dancers and musicians weave together movement, live original music, technology and theater for a deeply personal, engaging evening-length dance.
- (A)Way Out of My Body features an original score and is accompanied by live music.
- (A)Way Out of My Body is 60 minutes long with no intermission.
- (A)Way Out of My Body is enjoyed by all ages.
