The award-winning New-York based David Dorfman Dance company is here visiting the University of Wyoming from September 5^th – September 13^th as 2023-2024 Endowed Artists-in-Residence with UW’s Department of Theatre and Dance and the Neltje Center for Excellence in Creative Activity.

David Dorfman Dance has created movement that seeks to de-stigmatize the notion of accessibility and interaction in post-modern dance by embracing audiences with visceral, meaningful dance, music and text. By sustaining a vision to create innovative, inclusive, movement-based performance that is radically humanistic, DDD maintains a core commitment to examine and unearth issues and ideas that enliven, incite, and excite audiences in dialogue and debate about social change and a myriad of other topics. In advocating his mission “to get the whole world dancing,” Dorfman’s work has enjoyed broad and diverse audiences nationally and internationally.

DDD has performed extensively throughout North and South America, Great Britain, Europe, and Central Asia. DDD has regularly performed in New York City at major venues including The Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), The Joyce Theater, The Kitchen, Danspace Project/St. Mark’s Church, La Mama Theater, The Duke on 42nd Street, The Met Breuer, and the 92nd St. “Y”/Harkness Dance Festival. David Dorfman, the company’s dancers, and DDD’s artistic collaborators have also been honored with eight New York Dance and Performance (Bessie) Awards

The DDD residency will culminate in a gala performance of ‘(A)Way out of my Body’ on Sunday, September 10^th at 2:00pm in the Arts and Sciences Auditorium. Tickets for this event (including $16 adult and $8 discounted student tickets) are available at: https://www.tix.com/ticket-sales/uwyo/6984
