New Choreography and High Fashion in a United Expression About AIDS

New York Times (10/20/93) P. C15 (Kisselgoff, Anna)

The dance and fashion worlds merged Monday night for "A Demand Performance," a benefit extravaganza to raise money for AIDS education, care, and advocacy. The cause attracted 18 choreographers, who joined forces at the New York State Theater for an event that featured dance performances--many of them premieres--as well as vocal pieces. The gala was presented by the Design Industries Foundation for AIDS, the fashion industry's main crusader against the disease, in collaboration with Broadway Cares-Equity Fights AIDS, a group in the entertainment business.
