DAVID APPEL is one of the extraordinary solo choreographer/performers of his generation. A seminal independent movement artist, his compelling work speaks directly to audiences through the palpability and evocativeness of his dancing, in alliance with a shifting assemblage of supporting elements. He has developed a unique performance style that both intrigues and engages: from the moment he steps onstage, those present find themselves invited to re-imagine how we perceive and connect with all that is around us.

For almost 40 years, David has resolutely followed his own road. Although part of what might be dubbed the second generation of
post-moderns, he has developed a singular approach to moving and dance-making—one that reflects his intense curiosity about the possibilities available to us both individually and collectively. His work is highlighted by an ever-greater subtlety and range of articulation, a heightened presence in and activation of internal and external space, a vivid and vibrant musicality, and a celebration of the fluid relationship between our dancing selves and the world through which we move.
