“David Norsworthy’s [work] was brilliantly original... a delicious piece of nonsense. Clever, original and very enjoyable... Mr. Norsworthy is a great talent both as a choreographer and as a dancer. He is someone to watch.”
— NYC DANCE STUFF, Darrell Wood
“with one of the most magnificent jumps, Canadian dancer David Norsworthy skims the floor ... his compact body never makes a sound as he lands to the ground before tossing himself back up effortlessly in the air”
— DANCE EUROPE MAGAZINE, Trina Mannino
“Norsworthy... is an exceptionally lucid performer, technically impressive and articulate with choreographic detail.”
— THE GLOBE AND MAIL, Martha Schabas
“David Norsworthy, a dancer as intense as Bruce Lee yet vulnerable, finishes with a solo of brokenness... sensuality [and] rawness.”
— NEW YORK TIMES, Brian Siebert
“Norsworthy performs a remarkable solo... he’s both strong and unstable... different parts of his body seem constantly to pull him into contrary directions—sometimes several. ”
— DANCE BEAT, Deborah Jowitt
Testimonials
“Norsworthy’s class was wonderfully playful but not juvenile. We moved, explored, and sweat communally, without feeling hippie-dippie. The curious, mature, and warm energy in the room was palpable... He offered gems of inspiration without being too inspirational, and I hurried after class to jot down some notes before they escaped my brain: Do something you thought you wouldn’t do today. / What is the difference between IMPULSE and IDEA? / Get rid of composition and cleverness (and still be an artist)! Without divulging every detail, Norsworthy’s class was... cerebral, unassuming, and a lot of fun.”
— TINY DANCER BIG WORDS, Audrey Baran
“Of all of the workshops arranged for us over the past 4 years [David’s] was the most inspiring and beneficial for me as a dancer and a human being... that hour was the most relaxing yet spontaneous hour of my life and I had never felt so free. ”
— Tori Martin, Student
“I think about the knowledge I gained from being in your presence daily. I haven’t thanked you enough for shaping so much of the kind of artist I hope to be.”
