60x60 Dance pairs 60 composers with 60 choreographers for an electrifying
one-hour multimedia performance

60x60 will take place at the World Financial Centerâ€<sup>TM<sup>s Winter Garden, NYC on
November 14, 2008 12:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.

60x60 Dance offers an unmatched diversity of aesthetics,
styles and techniques, making for a fast-speed, exhilarating event which
never ceases to surprise. Music selections for the WFC event have been
culled from an international pool of emerging and established composers, and
then assigned to an equally varied mix of New York-based choreographers
assembled by Jeramy Zimmerman. During the event, the compositions will be
played in succession over loud speakers. A large analog clock will keep
track of time, with each minute marking the end of one dance and the
beginning of another.
