Zvidance premiered its new work “Dandelion” mid-November at New York Live Arts. Founded by Zvi Gotheiner in 1989, Zvidance has been a steady presence in the New York contemporary dance scene, a reliable source of compositional integrity, and a magnet for wonderful dancers. Gotheiner always coalesces a group of exciting, technically adept performers, who never fail to mesmerize the audience with their individual, engaging qualities. Although Gotheiner has had a long history of working collaboratively with his dancers, he has opened more pathways to dancemaking due to a life-changing stroke in March 2021. It has no doubt been incredibly challenging but also healing to evolve this creative process while managing his own recovery.
