On November 20, 2022, ETD presented a multi-media dance theater tribute to the artists who defined NYC nightlife in the mid-1990’s, Set in the dynamic, exciting dance club SLATE in NYC, audiences experienced an odyssey of art, addiction, recovery, and destiny. Choreographed by Eryc Taylor. Guest choreographer Alex Tenreiro Theis. Composed and music directed by Daniel Tobias.
At the height of the Global Pandemic in 2020, all public gatherings were cancelled in New York City. But did art need to stop? ETD activated its dancers by focusing their creativity and energies in a socially distanced video dance project:
ETD’s first dance film has been selected as a finalist and winner of several international film festivals. With commissioned, original music composed by Daniel Tobias, the 30 minute short film is about the pandemic and our companies efforts to cope with the ongoing health crisis. The film can be streamed live or virtually.
In 2019, with the political fission in the United States as deep as ever, ETD channelled its dancers’ feelings of helplessness into an empowering, emotionally and physically charged project:
A visual, physical and auditory “wake up call” to the impact of our actions on climate change. E A R T H is a six part evening length work incorporating fiver original two minute films that serve as transitions. E A R T H is choreography by in collaboration with past recipients of the company’s New Choreographer Grant Program. The work can be performed immersive in any space indoors or outdoors. Requires soil as a set piece and a projector for the films.
