Be the first to see three new dance works, commissioned by Celebrate Brooklyn, which have been choreographed and will be performed by David Neumann and NicholasLeichterDance on Aug. 2.

According to Celebrate Brooklyn co-producer Rachel Charnoff, "Each of them had admired each other’s work - they both teach at NYU - so they agreed to do a duet.

"They are very physical dancers, two great, handsome, but very different, dancers working on [a] duet," said Charnoff. "David Neumann had done a piece with Laurie Anderson; he’s very collaborative and up and coming. He crosses that boundary between acting and performance." Neumann (pictured) will perform "Appropriate Behaviors" (1997) and "Deep Six" (2002).

"Nick is a very sexy choreographer who works a lot with very contemporary, stylish music," she said. Leichter will perform "Bliss" (2002) and the world premiere of "Never End Part 2."

As choreographers-in-residence, Neumann and Leichter will also host a lecture-demonstration at the Prospect Park Picnic House (enter the park at Fifth Street and Prospect Park West) on July 31 at 7:30 pm to share the techniques used in creating their new works.

The Aug. 2 performance will be at 7:30 pm at the Prospect Park Band Shell (Prospect Park West and Ninth Street). Admission is $3. For more information, call (718) 855-7882 ext. 45, or visit the Web site at www.celebratebrooklyn.org.
