Nimbus Dance Works Announces New York City Season and Northeast US Tour, Now thru 2/17 Page 2- BWWDanceWorld

Says Nimbus Artistic Director Samuel Pott about the season: "At Nimbus we are interested in using dance to engage audiences in direct and meaningful ways, so that dance can be inspiring in an aesthetic sense but also part of a broader effort to make a positive impact on people and communities. We are thrilled to present Taiwanese choreographer Huang Yi's new work which draws audiences into an exchange between exceptional artists from opposite sides of the planet. And we are honored to perform Charles Weidman's Lynchtown and to interact with this masterwork in many different communities and from many different angles."

On Friday February 15th, immediately following the opening night performance of Nimbus' New York Season at the Ailey Citigroup Theater, the company invites friends and supporters to join the company to celebrate at the Worlds Apart/Worlds Together reception with special public recognition of the Taipei Cultural Center and the Charles Weidman Dance Foundation. The festive event will feature wine, light hors d'oeuvres, and live music.
