Dances for a Variable Population proudly presents REVIVAL10: Retrospective, a public performance of DVP’s multigenerational dancers from across New York City. This landmark celebration honors 20 years of DVP and the continuing legacy of founder and Artistic Director Naomi Goldberg Haas.

REVIVAL10: Retrospective features iconic choreographic works by Goldberg Haas and legendary NYC-based choreographers and long-time collaborators- including Audrey Madison, Ellen Graff, and Myna Majors. Up to 50 older adult dancers from DVP's free ongoing Movement Speaks® program will bring to life a joyful retrospective of movement and community.

The approximately 45-minute performance is followed by an interactive All-Together Dance Workshop where dancers, choreographers, and audience members unite in an upbeat, physically accessible movement experience that culminates in a celebratory dance party for all!

REVIVAL10: Retrospective is a moving tribute to Naomi's 20-year vision, the power of intergenerational dance, and the vibrant spirit of older adult artists across New York City.
