Dance New Amsterdam presents Artists in Residence (AIR) at DNA's new home at 280 Broadway. This season's production includes performances by Neta Pulvermacher/The Neta Dance Company, Sara Baird/Anemone Dance Theater, and Deganit Shemy

DNA's highly competitive AIR program lavishes artists with class and studio time for study and conception, rehearsal space, and administrative and technical support, and culminates in a formal performance.

Neta Pulvermacher, artistic director of the Neta Dance Company, traffics in "shards of emotion and physicality fused in flight" (NEW YORK PLANET). Recipient of a special award for choreography from Bessie Schönberg, she is particularly noted for her collaborations with outlaw musicians like John Zorn, Miri Ben-Ari, Roy Nathanson and XTC.

Sara Baird/Anemone Dance Theater aligns with the Japanese Butoh aesthetic, a theatrical poetry of opposites, absurdities and unanticipated beauty in stage environments woven out of costuming, visual projections, sculpture and soundscape.

Deganit Shemy uses sharp, small, meticulous (even awkward) movements to explore the push-pull of alienation and connection. The young Israeli-born choreographer's fragmented body language digs deep to provoke strong emotional responses.
