DANCES FOR A VARIABLE POPULATION PRESENTS

REVIVAL 8: THEN AND NOW

FREE PERFORMANCES AND WORKSHOPS AT NYC’s

AILEY CITIGROUP THEATER, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16 AT 5:00PM

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, November 16 at 5:00PM at Ailey Citigroup Theater. The performance and workshop at Ailey Citigroup Theater will be DVP’s inaugural indoor event.

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, November 16 at Ailey Citigroup Theater at 6:00PM (following the 5:00PM performance).
