Neil Greenberg has been making dances since 1979, receiving fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, NEA, NYFA & the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, a Bessie, a Time Out Audience Award, and grants from the National Dance Project, the Rockefeller Multi-Arts Production Fund and NYSCA. He has created two commissions for Mikhail Baryshnikov’s White Oak Dance Project. A former dancer with the Merce Cunningham Dance Company (1979-86), he recently joined the dance faculty of UC Riverside, and has been on the dance faculty of Purchase College and Sarah Lawrence College. He served as dance curator at The Kitchen from 1995-1999. He is known especially for his 1994 work, “Not-About-AIDS-Dance” which employs his signature use of projected words as an alternative text to the onstage dance action, and a door into the “meanings” of viewing dance. He is currently working on Really Queer Dance With Harps, which will premiere at DTW in NY in June 2008, and which continues his investigation into the nature of meaning-making.
