DANCING TO CONNECT FROM GERMANY TO LOWER MANHATTAN AND BACK

Dancing to Connect is the name coined in Freiburg, Germany, to describe a creative project for teens that was developed there by Battery Dance Company with choreographer Aviva Geismar over the past two summers. In January, we brought the project home with funding from the LMDC, trying it out with 40 students at Millennium High School. The results were displayed on stage at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center on February 13 to stunning effect! The next Dancing to Connect Projects will take place in Stuttgart, Berlin and Freiburg between June 18 and July 16. E-mail us for details: battery@batterydance.org
