“Selwyn has managed to produce sincere, personal works year after year for two decades—no small feat.” — The New Yorker
This past year, Amanda Selwyn Dance Theatre/Notes in Motion experienced dramatic growth -- delivering 70 dance education programs and surpassing the 100,000-students-reached mark. Our Performance Season included an Open Rehearsal, a Season Preview, the World Premiere of Threads at New York Live Arts, our Gala: In This Moment, and our 9th Green Afternoon Hamptons Tour. At our Gala, students from 3 partner schools performed right alongside our professional company. Leading with our values of fostering inclusion and expression through dance, we have strengthened and broadened our relationships with artists, partners, supporters, and friends. We practiced and witnessed the enormous power of dance as a healing force in our audiences, in our studios, and in our classrooms. We have come through this pandemic positioned for change.
For ASDT’s 23rd annual performance season, we will begin the development of a new evening-length work entitled Habit Formed. Habit Formed will explore how habits can both manifest strength, ease, and freedom and also create limits, boundaries, and affliction. We will share the work’s development at open rehearsals and in process showings culminating in a Preview Performance in Spring 2023 at NYU.
Investing in arts and culture is essential to our nation's economic, emotional, and physical recovery. 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. Help us to help them. 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 this holiday season.
