“Selwyn has managed to produce sincere, personal works year after year for two decades—no small feat.” — The New Yorker
This year, Amanda Selwyn Dance Theatre/Notes in Motion brought 116 dance education programs throughout NYC. With 50 Teaching Artists working throughout the year, we reached the 200,000-students-reached mark. We practiced and witnessed the enormous power of dance as a healing force in our audiences, in our studios, and in our classrooms.
Amanda Selwyn Dance Theatre’s 24th Performance Season included the premiere of an evening-length work Habit Formed at BMCC Tribeca PAC as residency artist of the CUNY Dance Initiative. Set in a world of shifting physical structures, the piece lingered between the comfort of routine and the desire to break away from established patterns and embark on journeys of self-discovery. We previewed the piece at an Open Rehearsal, at Compass Real Estate, at 9 of our school partners, in a NYU Summer Residency, in a Workshop Series at Peridance, and on tour to East Hampton. As we prepare for our 25th anniversary, it is an exciting time of great momentum and organization growth.
Investing in arts and culture is essential. From our inception, we have been driven by the vision that you cannot create dance in the now unless you are thinking about audiences of the future. We need your help to create this vital choreographic work in the now and to serve and support future audiences, many of whom have experienced great learning loss throughout the pandemic. Please consider a monthly pledge of support — you can create an ongoing impact on the landscape of dance and arts education.
Thank you for your support and wishing you health and love.
