NDI’s 2024 Event of the Year: Earth’s Song
National Dance Institute (NDI) proudly announces its highly anticipated 2024 Event of the Year, “Earth’s Song.” This extraordinary event will showcase the talents of over 150 children from New York City schools in a series of captivating performances celebrating our planet’s natural wonders and addressing urgent environmental issues. In response to the pressing challenges of climate change, “Earth’s Song” will immerse audiences in a dynamic exploration of the globe’s fragile, resilient and threatened ecosystems. Through the universal languages of dance and music, NDI aims to foster a deeper appreciation for our planet and inspire collective action towards a sustainable future grounded in compassion and innovation. Notable highlights include a compelling new piece by Tiffany Rea-Fisher, NDI’s 2024 Helen Stambler Neuberger Artist-in-Residence, and founder of Emerge 125 and curator for Bryant Park Picnic Performances. An acclaimed choreographer whose works have graced prestigious venues such as the Joyce, the Apollo, and New York City Center, Rea-Fisher has also presented her work at Joe’s Pub, Aaron Davis Hall, and other notable venues across New York City. Additionally, the presentation includes a new work featuring dancers from the NDI DREAM Project, performed by dancers with and without disabilities.
