Carolyn Dorfman Dance has been a part of dance at 92NY for over two decades, where so many of her works were first shared in process and performance.

A child of Holocaust survivors, Dorfman takes audiences on a powerful historical and cultural journey. With depth and reverence, she draws on her rich Jewish legacy, its history, traditions, gestures, and music to create dance that is honestly personal yet powerfully universal.

Hailed as the consummate storyteller, A Dance of Hope includes works from Dorfman’s full Legacy Project Catalog, a celebrated body of work that honors her Eastern European roots, Jewish heritage, The Holocaust and the American immigrant experience. Her 12-member, stunning multi-ethnic company performs works that share both the specific and universal stories of pain and loss, as well as redemption, compassion and hope.

“Each work”, Dorfman explains, “is a ladle dipped into a historical caldron of faith, survival, and renewal. It is through my work that I seek to connect, share, and build bridges within and between communities. Our survival as a human race depends on it.”
