New York Notebook

Stephan Koplowitz’s collaboration with Vietnamese improviser Dao Anh Khanh, A Walk Between Two Worlds, is the culmination of three years of work they’ve done in Vietnam. The two worlds of the title, said Koplowitz, could be art and life, East and West, or real and virtual. The piece includes a video Koplowitz shot in Vietnam of Khanh choreographing for the camera. Khanh, a visual artist as well as a dancer, builds huge installations. “He’ll put himself in the middle of it and create a performance inside,” said Koplowitz. “He is making a set for this piece, and I have no idea what it’s going to be.’’ May 4–7 at Dance Theater Workshop.

Executive director Eva Bornstein hopes the performance will shift media focus from crime to the artistic talent of this diverse community. “Bronx dance is urban and grassroots,” said Bornstein. “The community needs to see a mirror onstage.” —Lauren Kay
