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
