Dance Month at
the Kaplan Theatre
January 10—February 9, 2014
Dance Month celebrates 34 years of presenting concerts, master classes, dance
parties and Tirkedu Houston! — an Israeli Dance Workshop weekend, this year led
by the legendary Yaron Carmel.
This season will feature the Union, New Jersey based Carolyn Dorfman Dance Company.
Known as a creator of provocative dances that reflect her concerns about the human
condition, Dorfman is interested in creating “worlds” into which the audience can enter.
CDDC’s high energy and technically demanding repertory uses movement as metaphor
to take audiences on what one reviewer described as “intellectual and emotional
journeys.” Since founding her Company in 1982, Carolyn Dorfman has created more
than 50 works for her ten-member ensemble which appears at major theaters, dance
festivals, universities and schools regionally, nationally and internationally.
