Ze’eva Cohen’s Photograph and video of her dancing with her DTW colleagues is on display in the exhibition: “Room to Move : Dance Theater Workshop and Alternative Histories of Downtown Dance.” At the NYPL for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center.

The exhibition’s focus is the experimental modern and postmodern dance scene in New York during the mid 60’s and the 70’s.

In the 1960s, much like today, artists in New York struggled with limited access to resources and space—key elements to make new work. Dancers and choreographers, who need space to move and experiment, felt these limitations perhaps the most. Thinking about how to support artists in a new way, Jeff Duncan, who had worked with Anna Sokolow and Doris Humphrey during his early career, opened his living space to other artists to create, rehearse, and present their work. The collective became known as Dance Theater Workshop, and it went on to foster a number of key artists, as well as the movement of downtown dance.

The exhibition is on view: June – September 13, 2025.
At: Astor gallery on the L level, Lincoln Center

Free tours with Library staff will take place June 25, July 30, and August 27 at 11AM.
