between The East River, Vernon Blvd., and 21 St. Queens
Infusing the essence of iconic dance works by master choreographers of the 20th century, Dances for a Variable Population (DVP) will lead two performances and workshops of Revival 8: Then and Now, Saturday, June 1 at 4:00PM at Queensbridge Park in Long Island City.
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, June 1 at 5:00PM at Long Island City’s Queensbridge Park (following the 4:00PM performance). These interactive workshops highlight movements by guest artists and feature exercises from DVP’s MOVEMENT SPEAKS® curriculum. Reservations are recommended. For more info, visit www.dvpnyc.org.
