DANCES FOR A VARIABLE POPULATION (Artistic Director/Choreographer Naomi Goldberg Haas) has been invited to participate in the celebration of the newly renovated Washington Square Park. The unique company, with members of all ages, will present the new Washington Square Dances, inspired by Terry Riley's landmark 1964 composition "In C," remixed by contemporary composers and performed by a company of women ages 24 to 81 (yes, 81).
DVP unites senior citizens with young professional dancers in works of rich colloquial movements, blending with a contemporary style that erases the traditional boundaries between dancers and non-dancers. Their performances explore how these disparate groups can learn from one another about the nature of movement and expression.
Director Naomi Goldberg Haas is a dance artist who choreographs performances with diverse communities and professional dancers. For Washington Square Dances, she has created a piece that celebrates community, the joy of dance, and the arrival of summer in New York City.
