Founded in 1979, Pennsylvania Dance Theatre (PDT) has performed nationally and internationally, becoming a modern dance repertory company of note. Under the guidance since 2003 of German born Artistic Director Andre Koslowski, a professional dancer and well-respected choreographer, PDT’s reputation continues to grow.

This season we continue developing our repertory with new works and commissions, extending our presence in arts in education programs, solidifying corporate movement programs, and building a committed pool of collaborating artists.

AgniMa

AgniMa, PDT’s repertory concert to be performed at The State Theatre on July 12, 2008 during the Central PA Festival of the Arts, will include two world premiere works featuring original composition of music, original set design, and original choreography by internationally and nationally acclaimed artists.

The name AgniMa is a compilation of the Sanskrit word Agni, meaning fire, and a shortened version of the word Magic. The title is chosen to reflect the general theme of transformation – as each of the dances presented have been transformed in some manner – new music, new scenic design – or in the case of new choreography – the representation of change and growth, or transformation, after disaster. AgniMa, also carries the double meaning of a play on words of enigma – as transformation is often a mystery.
