Profile

Jeffrey E. Salzberg has designed the lighting for theatre, ballet, and modern dance troupes all over the United States. He recently lit three solos, including "A Shropshire Lad", featuring New York City Ballet principal dancer Peter Boal, for Manhattan-based Dance as Ever. DanceView Magazine said of "A Shropshire Lad", "It was an extraordinarily moving piece, especially the elegiac last song. . .where the effective lighting (by Jeffrey E. Salzberg) seemed both to box the dancer in and to elevate him above all human suffering." Writing in the New York Times, Jennifer Dunning called the lighting for another piece, "ingeniously atmospheric".

In Sarasota, Mr. Salzberg recently lit Tony Award nominee Mark Baker in the one-man show "Tru". Several of Mr. Salzberg's designs, including Contemporary Dance/Fort Worth's "To Turn Again", the Ensemble Theatre's "A Soldier's Play", and FST's "Hysteria", have won critical praise. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram called the lighting for "To Turn Again", ". . .a devastating blend of image and sound." The Houston Chronicle, reviewing another production, said, "With its. . .lighting and dancing, the company has dramatically lifted the level of local dance."

In addition to lighting design and arts administration, Mr. Salzberg also designs web pages. He urges you to support your public radio station. His online portfolio, including photographs, can be seen at http://www.jeffsalzberg.com.
