    Company will come together for a creative residency at Brooklyn
    Academy of Music (BAM) from Aug. 14-16, featuring new collaborative
    work devised by the two dancers.

    As one of three U.S. dance companies participating in the program's
    fourth season, David Dorfman Dance recently completed a four-week-long
    educational exchange and performance tour of Turkey, Armenia and
    Tajikistan. Korhan BaÅ?aran Company ' which will join David Dorfman
    Dance at BAM and at the Bates Dance Festival in Maine ' was a company
    that David Dorfman Dance worked with in Turkey.

    Additionally, two Armenian guest artists ' Karen Khachatryan and Davit
    Grigoryan ' have been invited to join the BAM residency as part of an
    effort by the DanceMotion USA program to promote themes of
    reconciliation.

    foreign policy goals by engaging international audiences through
    educational opportunities, performance and cultural exchange. The
    program is a people-to-people international exchange initiative of the
    U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs,
    produced by BAM.
