The Daniel Gwirtzman Dance Company has announced “In The Studio,” a series of behind-the-scenes events at New York City Center on June 25 and 26.
The program, held at 131 W. 55th St., offers an intimate look at the creative process behind the company’s newest work. Participants will have the opportunity to hear from dancers about their challenges and from choreographer Daniel Gwirtzman about the concepts shaping the choreography.
“In The Studio features the same-sex partnering for which DGDC has been known since our inception,” said Gwirtzman, who has been a professionally active queer artist in New York since 1995. “Non-heteronormative coupling has been a trademark of the Company’s repertory.”
The event is scheduled to coincide with New York City’s Pride celebrations. Highlighted repertoire includes Dreamland, performed by Derek Crescenti and Johnny Mathews, and sections of the new work Flashpoint, performed by Vanessa Martínez de Baños and Madison Hertel.
“In The Studio will have a festive, vibrant, party atmosphere, a fun way to celebrate the spirit of Pride and usher in the weekend,” Gwirtzman said.
The events are free and open to the public, though advanced ticket reservations are required due to limited seating. Sessions are scheduled for June 25 at 1 p.m. and June 26 at 3 p.m. Additional information and a trailer for the program are available through the company’s website and Vimeo.
