Damian Woetzel Finally Brings His Colorado Dance Experiments To New York

For several summers now, the former New York City ballet principal has been putting together unusual combinations of dance styles, performers and roles at his Vail International Dance Festival. Why is he only now presenting the results in the city? “I’ve always felt a little reticent simply because what goes on in Vail – it’s very much a lab atmosphere. But then it started to feel that there were a number of things that haven’t been seen in New York.”
