NYC Premiere of Tisch Dance Adjunct Instructor Netta Yerushalmy's MOVEMENT

Experience the groundbreaking synthesis of a multiplicity of cultures and genres with MOVEMENT, an electrifying performance by acclaimed choreographer and NYU Tisch Dance Adjunct Instructor, Netta Yerushalmy. Yerushalmy currently teaches contemporary technique to BFA students. 

MOVEMENT is a continuation of Yerushalmy’s ongoing practice of repurposing, reorienting, and re-contextualizing dance, spinning fragments of seemingly unrelated works into an enthralling new whole. This maximalist performance shines light on dance as an inevitable and unifying force in a brittle and confused world. Witness over one hundred dance citations woven together into a radical quilt, challenging their boundaries until their pluralistic vision nearly bursts.

The performance features a new score by award-winning composer Paula Matthusen and is performed by dancers hailing from Korea, Senegal, Taiwan, and across the USA. 

This performance will be held at NYU Skirball on November 1 and 2 at 7:30 PM.
