DANCE THERAPY

This week at DTW, Greenberg reprises his 1994 Bessie Award-winning Not-About-AIDS-Dance. The former Merce Cunningham dancer created N-A-A-D the same year he lost his brother and nine friends to the disease. During the performance, Greenburg projects texts onto a video screen: among other facts, he informs the audience of his own HIV-positive status. The information is meant to draw the audience closer to him and his fellow dancers-and it works. There's nothing sentimental about N-A-A-D. Greenberg's choreography is simple yet powerful, and reminds us that dance-like other forms of artistic expression-can help us move beyond the grief of death.
