About Dancers Responding to AIDS In a New York City apartment more than 20 years ago, two dozen dancers brainstormed what they could do to help so many of their colleagues who were battling AIDS. Denise Roberts Hurlin and Hernando Cortez, dancers with Paul Taylor Dance Company at the time, mobilized the group and ultimately created Dancers Responding to AIDS in 1991. It was the dance community’s first ongoing effort to raise awareness and money to directly help those living with AIDS. The vitality of DRA comes from the extraordinary compassion and efforts of the performing arts community to fund a safety net of social services for those in need. As a program of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, DRA helps support more than 450 AIDS and family service organizations nationwide as well as the essential programs of The Actors Fund, including the HIV/AIDS Initiative, the Phyllis Newman Women’s Health Initiative and The Dancers’ Resource. Funds raised by DRA help Broadway Cares ensure that those most in need have access to lifesaving medicines, counseling, healthy meals, supportive housing, emergency financial assistance and more. DRA has shown since 1991 that what we do together makes a difference. Denise Roberts Hurlin, Founding Director Christopher F. Davis, Producer Sarah Cardillo, Development Officer

Choreographer, filmmaker and dancer Pontus Lidberg has created works for major dance companies around the world, including Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève, Semperoper Ballett, The Royal Danish Ballet, Beijing Dance Theater, Royal Swedish Ballet, The Norwegian National Ballet and Morphoses, as well as for his own troupe, Pontus Lidberg Dance.

Gallim Dance

New York-based Gallim Dance creates and performs award-winning original work by 2014 Guggenheim Fellow and Artistic Director Andrea Miller. Through a varied body of work, Miller has developed a recognizable artistic language of extreme physicality and unprejudiced emotionality, reaching 15,000 audience members worldwide in 2014.

KEIGWIN + COMPANY

Founded in 2003 by Artistic Director Larry Keigwin, KEIGWIN + COMPANY creates and presents Keigwin’s electrifying brand of contemporary dance. KEIGWIN + COMPANY invigorates diverse communities with a refreshing vision of dance that embodies wit, style and heart. Since 2003, KEIGWIN + COMPANY has presented performances at The Kennedy Center, New York City Center, The Joyce Theater, American Dance Festival and more nationwide.

Dorrance Dance

Dorrance Dance aims to honor tap dance’s uniquely beautiful history in a new, dynamic and compelling context; not by stripping the form of its tradition, but by pushing it: rhythmically, aesthetically and conceptually. Founded in 2011 by Artistic Director Michelle Dorrance, Dorrance Dance’s inaugural performance at Danspace Project garnered a Bessie Award for “blasting open our notions of tap.”

Paul Taylor Dance Company

Paul Taylor, the last living member of the pantheon that created America’s indigenous art of modern dance, has choreographed 141 dances since 1954. Taylor’s new initiative is to honor the history and secure the future of the art by reinventing his company as Paul Taylor’s American Modern Dance which will have its inaugural season in March at Lincoln Center in New York City.
