DBR's SYMPHONY FOR THE DANCE FLOOR

About this project

"I need you to help me make this piece... I need you to help me build this show... I need you to be my record label for this CD... I need you to help me create something new and wonderful...  This Kickstarter campaign is how we can build this piece together.  I want you to be a part of this. 
I can never thank you enough.  I thank you for supporting the work, supporting the music, supporting the performers who are always around me.  SYMPHONY FOR THE DANCE FLOOR is another way for me as a composer and as an artist to express myself, and you are a very important part of that.  I appreciate you being there, and, in some ways, dancing with me."  -DBR

Known for bringing audiences to their feet with sonic collages of classical, pop and hip-hop sounds, DBR ushers the concert hall and dance club into the theater with SYMPHONY FOR THE DANCE FLOOR.  Centered around the shrieking, singing, and seduction of DBR’s violin playing, the production is augmented with masterful collaborations including: choreography by Millicent Johnnie (former resident choreographer of Urban Bush Women); ebullient live dancing; bombastic laptop/turntable soundscapes; raw, uncompromising photography and video by Jonathan Mannion (best known for his soul bearing portraits of hip-hop icons Jay-Z, Lauryn Hill, Mos Def and Eminem); and emceeing by actor/rapper Lord Jamar (member of hip-hop group Brand Nubian and former star of HBO’s Oz) – all under the direction of D.J. Mendel.
