Dance: Irina Kuzminsky
Dancing with Dark Goddesses
Written and choreographed by Irina, this piece combines dance, poetry and her original musical compositions to take us into an intimate encounter with the faces and realms of the feminine. Impressionistic but with semi-narrative threads, Dancing with Dark Goddesses speaks of the passion, the rage, the joy and the strength of the feminine. Visiting from Australia, her full production is presented October 2, 3, 5 at Producers’ Club in NYC, along with her paintings in Salon Solo at Producers’ Club through October 20th.
Irina Kuzminsky is a genuine artist for our time, a poet, singer, songwriter, artist and dancer. Trained as a classical singer, pianist and dancer Irina's performances in the UK, US, Australia and Germany span recitals, theatre shows, dance, opera, dance theatre and cross-arts collaborations.
