The Joyce Theater
December 9-15
The choreographer, Tanowitz, and pianist Dinnerstein celebrate their union between music and dance in New Work for Goldberg Variations. “Widely considered one of the foremost Bach interpreters of her generation, Dinnerstein plays her award-winning, Billboard chart-topping take on the demanding score live on stage alongside the seven dancers of Pam Tanowitz Dance. The company’s namesake choreographer lends her trademark unflinching abstractions of classical and popular dance to create a delightful evening full of interplay of rhythm and style. Together, Tanowitz and Dinnerstein translate the intricate score into movement in a way that New Work for Goldberg Variations radically redefines how a dance and music collaboration comes to be,” according to the release.
