Dance Visions NY presents a new and unique program on the grounds of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation Shelter Rock (UUCSR) in collaboration with the organization.
Grounded in contemporary movements for social justice, the program includes a new work addressing bodily autonomy entitled “Dialogue, first presented for Creative Performances' "Our Bodies! A Protest in Dance," "Isadora Duncan’s groundbreaking, dynamic work of strength and optimism created to the 3rd movement of Tchaikovsky’s Pathetique Sonata #6 (circa 1916), “From a Distant Past Part 1", a new manifestation of the 1st section of our poem-based dance theater piece developed over the course of several years and a pivotal work with themes of identity and unity through diversity. In addition we will present new dances created to songs in collaboration with “Willow,” an interfaith women’s choir. The program includes original, timely and meaningful dance, music, poetry and theatre. It expresses the climate of our times and is performed by excellent, diverse artists in a beautiful, historical outdoor setting.
This program is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrant Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by The Huntington Arts Council, Inc.
