David Norwood is a choreographer and educator and the CEO of NYH MEDIA LLC.
Considered a “renegade artist”, Mr. Norwood’s work can be seen across all medium: stage, screen, television and streaming. Born and raised in Palos Verdes, a middle class of Los Angeles.
David was a jazz and soul growing up in a rock-dominated beach scene. The dichotomy and the clash of the two cultures would serve him well as he has become an artist of blending different approaches to a project and making a whole new idea and a unique creation.
David's formal training started at the age of 15 through a series of serendipitous events that landed him at the Ailey School for his first summer of dance. Back in LA he set out to train with the best in the entertainment business and also studying art which would inevitably lead him to choreography and teaching.Mr. Norwood has a degree in, Musical Theatre Dance from USIU in San Diego California
While working at Edge PAC in Hollywood as one of the original teaching staff, David was immersed day in and day out in pursuit of pushing the envelope in what was possible in dance and entertainment.
He go on to work commercially choreographing for Pepsi, The Mickey Mouse Club, Circus of the Stars and traveling internationally to Japan and all of Europe
Moving on to co-directing a broadway show: Odyssey in Illusion then a ABC movie of the week starring Nicolette Sheridan.
His credits --- include working with such brands as: Nike, Reebok, Apple,
Banana Republic and Disney. Also working with such iconic artists such as Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, The Talking Heads and Shanice Wilson and recently FX | HULU English Teacher.
When David moved to Atlanta, he worked with Atlanta Ballet as a teacher / choreographer. This is when he took the leap into creating new works in a commercial/contemporary vein.
One of David's drivers is creating new ideas and concepts and seeing them come to fruition. Not satisfied with the status quo , David is always finding ways to push the envelope in the idea department and remixing not only the music but the production itself. Much sought after for his ideation and branding campaigns, David now is Artistic Director of BL3ND dance theater and CEO of his own production company NYH media. His goal is to create a multi-media platform that pushes the art of dance performance and education to the next level and contribute to the next evolution of performance and training.
