Dafmark Dance Theater

Hello everyone!

Dafmark Dance Theater will host a studio performance of its newest works of choreography, on Saturday October 13, 2007 at 2 PM at Dafmark.

“Back to Bach”
will feature works in progress to the music of
Johann Sebastian Bach, as it can be heard through interpretations from diverse artists from the 20^th Century.

Over three hundred and fifty years ago, Bach changed the way we listen to music. Celebrate with us his genius and join us for a dance preview that will also include live music as well as a conversation with the choreographers and the performers.

See you soon and thanks again for your support.

PS. Donations at the door kindly accepted.

Visceral motion, provocative statements and original choreography are trademarks of Dafmark Dance Theater, the Erie-based contemporary dance company founded in 1990 by Dafna Rathouse-Baier and Jean-Marc Baier.

"Dance is a mosaic of time, a chance to transform and be transformed, a means to connect the self to others and to our times." Jean-Marc Baier

Productions such as "From Dust to Ashes," "The Four Seasons," and "Duende, When Carmen Met Lorca" demonstrate an uncompromising commitment to artistic expression and originality. Dafmark Dance Theater has also performed on numerous occasions with the Erie Philharmonic Orchestra and actively pursues collaborative projects with live music. Its current touring production, "Unsilenced Voices," involves the participation of the Ravel Trio. Dafmark has also worked with the Cypress String Quartet, Quintango, Mary Alice Brown Jazz Ensemble and the Edinboro University Chamber Players.

For Dafmark Dance Theater, it is the dynamism between tradition and change, immediacy and transcendence, form and content, where the passion for artistic expression takes shape. It is the nexus where creativity finds a voice in the language of dance, and where "meaning in movement" is both a comfort and a challenge to the way in which we understand ourselves.

Dafmark's repertory has also been performed by the renowned Kibbutz Dance Company in Israel, by Atalanta Fugiens in Barcelona, Spain, the Northeast Academy of Dance in Michigan and Voci, Orlando's premier contemporary dance company in Florida.

Dafmark Dance Theater is a tax-exempt 501 (c) (3) organization registered with the Commonwealth of PA Bureau of Charitable Contributions. Your contributions and donations are tax-deductible.
