Nimbus Dance

“It’s rare to find an artist like Dawn Marie Bazemore whose incredible and evocative movement and musicality is matched by her deep understanding of culture and history.” - Nimbus Founding Artistic Director, Samuel Pott Tomorrow, on Giving Tuesday, join in bringing this work of art to the stage by making a donation towards creating art that will touch the souls of thousands. New works like "The New Tide" by Dawn Marie Bazemore only happen because people like you understand the importance of bringing things like this to the forefront. Dance, history, figures like Gordon Parks and Sam Cooke form the foundation of who we are as a nation and as a people.

April 29 - May 1: Nimbus Dance in: ANIMA Tickets on Sale Now: https://app.arts-people.com/index.php?show=133004 Featuring Artistic Director Samuel Pott's 'Falling Sky' which contrasts humanity’s indomitable strength with the catastrophic consequences of climate change. A “fantastic choreographer” who “perfectly encapsulates love” (Huffington Post), Mr. Pott goes beyond constructing physically virtuosic movement to illustrate what happens when the world you’ve conquered turns against you. Projected scenic design by award-winning video artists Laia Cabrera and Isabelle Duverger, and original music by Qasim Naqvi, combine to build a theatrically suspenseful experience. . . . . . . . . #JerseyCityMakeItYours #NewJerseyArts #DanceNYC #NewJerseyDance #ArtisticCollaboration #NewYorkDance #choreography #DancePerformance #LivePerformanceNJ #ModernDance #JerseyCityNJ #ContemporaryDance #laiacabrera #isabelleduverger #qasimnaqvi
