    About This Event

    David Ayscue presents Sümü at Berlin, bringing a background in advertising, copywriting, SEO and creative marketing into a dance context. His work in creative and industrial videos and in consumer and B2B advertising informs a practice attentive to messaging, image and audience, and here that commercial-media sensibility is applied to stage and movement.

    About Sümu

    At Berlin, David Ayscue presents **Sümu**, a dance work shaped by his parallel career in advertising, copywriting, SEO, and creative marketing. That professional training shows up as attention to how images are built, how messages land, and how an audience is addressed in real time. The piece treats choreography like a communication system, borrowing the logic of commercial media while exposing its pressures and incentives. No NYC premiere history is currently documented; within New York’s dance ecology, it reads as a study in how persuasion moves through bodies as well as screens.
