About the NOVEMBER 10th PERFORMANCE
NC State LIVE has a rich history of presenting choreographers who are dedicated to embracing audiences with visceral, community-focused work. David Dorfman is one of these change-making choreographers. He has shaped the contemporary dance field with his “full throttle, big-hearted” works.
Perhaps you experienced Dorfman’s endearing community-based work on our stage with The Athletes Project in 1995 or The Family Project in 1998. To witness Dorfman’s choreography is to share in a lifelong dedication to the resilience of the human spirit. His newest piece (A)Way Out of My Body was created as he was caring for his ailing parents. It is an offering of healing, a journey through life’s inevitable pain to find our capacity for joy.
Dorfman (who turns 64 while he’s in Raleigh) joins his company on stage in a search for personal “truths” among fantastical sensations with mesmerizing lighting and visual design by the heralded theatremaker Andrew Schneider. The company’s four-person house band, led by superb songwriter Elizabeth DeLise, is seen and heard throughout as though beckoning us into the otherworldly-ness of our dreams, desires, our every day, and the new worlds awaiting us.
He always has a quality of celebration in his work and, structurally, his choreography can be a bit wild, a bit untamed.”
