Daniel Gwirtzman: He's a respected dancer, choreographer and dance educator with tons of experience bringing the joy of dance to the New York City school system. Call him a cockeyed optimist, but he's upbeat about the outlook for dance in America if dance artists get smart and creative about making the right kind of connection with their audiences. His essay--"Future of Modern Dance: Fan the Flame"--can be found in the Spring 2008 issue of Dance/USA Journal.
My upcoming Body and Soul podcast features a conversation I had with Daniel prior to his company's rehearsal of a new work at Joyce SoHo. You'll find his bio and more about his company here.
