Ellen Robbins

Dances By Very Young Choreographers

New York Live Arts
June 6 & 7
$25 adults; $15 students/seniors

Culminating a year’s work with world-renowned dance educator and choreographer Ellen Robbins, each student creates his or her own dance solo, steeped in the unmistakable individualism that resides in every child. Their works span a variety of theater experiences: humorous, dramatic, lyrical, minimal, abstract. Music selections also cover a broad range from Bach to Lounge Lizards, Paart, Aparat and beyond.
