Featured Projects
PRODUCER/DIRECTOR
Beginning in 2002, DeAngelo created multi-genre dance productions annually for Career Transition for Dancers (CTFD), as well as for Capezio. Mounting these high-profile events required an extraordinary artistic vision coupled with the ability to develop a creative concept; select and manage talent including world-renown celebrities; hire and oversee a production team; and supervise all aspect of production. These shows, which supported a worthy cause for dancers, became a seminal event in the New York dance season.
