Dances for an iPhone, created, choreographed and produced by Richard Daniels, presents an innovative way to look at and disseminate dance on camera. Mr. Daniels charts new territory in bringing modern dance to a wider audience in this App for iPhones, iPads, iPod Touches. Dances for an iPhone creates a new category of App with purely cultural content. This App allows the viewer to interactively choose from a collection of short dance movies by Richard Daniels, to be issued serially.

Dances for an iPhone Volume 1 features six movies of five extraordinarily accomplished dancers: Carmen de Lavallade, Deborah Jowitt, Regina Larkin, Christine Redpath, and Megan Williams. The New York Times called Volume 1 “starkly elegant” and “a little jewel of art.” The Baryshnikov Arts Center named Richard Daniels an artist in residence in order to create this volume.

Volume 2 will include dance movies featuring: Margie Gillis (Music by Frideric Handel); Stephen Pier and Miki Orihara (to a score by Arvo Part); Risa Steinberg (dancing to Purcell), and Christine Wright (previewing one movie from Volume 3’s all- Scriabin suite). Molissa Fenley dances the same dance to two different tracks – one an original score by Gerald Busby, and the other a text by Richard Daniels.

Volume 3 is an all-Scriabin prelude suite. Drawn from original improvisational material by Richard Daniels (in a 5-segment movie), four other dancers interpret that original material in seven movies. Those performers include: David Leventhal, Barbara Mahler, Jason McDole, and Christine Wright.
