Carolyn Dorfman Dance
(Union, N.J.) – Carolyn Dorfman Dance returns to be in residence at the Morris Museum from December 2-8 with a public performance at the Bickford Theatre on Sunday, December 7, at 3:00 in Dances of Hope, a celebration of community that features a sneak preview of the newest addition to the Legacy Project, The Hero Within: Max Heller, Mary Mills and Miracles. This work-in-process explores themes of joy, pain, and resilience, connecting the past to the present, and inspiring hope for a better future.
It will be an unforgettable program, offering a captivating perspective of the remarkable works of artistic director Carolyn Dorfman. Through The Legacy Project, Carolyn honors her Jewish legacy, its trials and tribulations, its uniqueness and its commonality across cultures. As a child of Holocaust survivors, she explores her heritage through dance and explores the rich tapestry of human experience.
Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Mayne Mentshn (My People), the Company performs selections from Act 1: The Klezmer Sketch and Act II: The American Dream, and she offers her triumphant and joyous Waves. The Hero Within: Max Heller, Mary Mills and Miracles tells a story through dance that you will not forget as it joins a repertory that has been celebrated by audiences and critics around the world.
