Pas de Dirt

Introduction

Pas de Dirt is an illustration of the way the Dance Exchange answers its own question, “Who gets to dance?”  Borrowing elements of music and a few pirouettes from Swan Lake, even heavy machinery gets a chance to dance as Producing Artistic Director Peter DiMuro and community members develop choreography for (and with) the equipment. 

The piece has been performed at the Garde Arts Center in New London, Connecticut and at the Paramount Theater in Charlottesville, Virginia.  When presented at the 2005 First Night Fest in Del Ray Beach, Florida, it earned the coveted Prism Award from the Zambelli Internationale fireworks company for “capturing the First Night spirit.” Pas de Dirt was performed again at 2007 First

Night Fest in Del Beach, Flordia - a happy return for the Dance Exchange.
