David Dorfman

<p><span style="font-size: 14px;">David Dorfman will collaborate with David Dorfman Dance&#39;s musical composing team, LIzzy de LIse and Sam Crawford, to begin the music and movement relationship for &quot;The Front Line&quot; - a new dance theater work set in a middle school gymnasium turned polling site. The poll workers—, a.k.a. the frontline of democracy, a.k.a. DDD— - dance, sing and speak their personal and interwoven stories on Election Day, USA, 2040, while community members play the roles of voters. Picture a 27-year-old dancing while speaking their “what democracy means to me” essay from fifth grade. Where did we go off track with our democracy, or were we ever on track, with half the country always hating the other half. What if our Founding Fathers had been founding mothers? Why can’t voting be safe and for everyone? What can we do??? We will dance those questions with joy - and eventually we will find the answers. We’ll ask: Who gets to vote? Who doesn’t? Why? Who shirks their responsibility? Who steps up and out?</span></p>
