Dances for a Variable Population
Infusing the essence of iconic dance works by master choreographers of the 20th century, Dances for a Variable Population (DVP) will lead a performance and workshop of Revival 8: Then and Now, on Saturday, October 5 at 3:00PM at Yolanda Garcia Park in Bronx, New York.
REVIVAL 8: Then and Now is a unique series set to unite legendary pieces from renowned choreographers, creatively inspired by esteemed ex-dancers who once graced their companies. These former dancers, with a deep connection to the original works, will reinterpret iconic works such as Martha Graham's Steps in the Street, Tina Ramirez’s Carmen, Jerome Robbins’s Dances at a Gathering, and Paul Taylor's Esplanade, tailored for the older adult population.
Celebrating its 15th year of free performances, DVP will also present a free All Together Dance Workshop open to members of the public on Saturday, October 5, 3:00PM at Yolanda Garcia Park (followed by the 4:00PM performance). These interactive workshops highlight movements by guest artists and feature exercises from DVP’s MOVEMENT SPEAKS® curriculum. Reservations are recommended.
