Aroundtown is a kinetic poem that examines the varied, unique and sometimes divided notions of LOVE- it's meaning, purpose, and platform. With original music, text, and visuals, the work explores commitment, community, and intimacy in times of violence and strife. DDD's trademark empathy, sly humor, and virtuosic physicality are harnessed to examine LOVE as both sociopolitical and intimate weather systems. (daviddorfmandance.org)
