Ballethnic will bring to the stage a new duet which is entitled Quite Storm. The piece is by 2021 Guggenheim Fellow, Christopher Huggins. It deals with the contrasts of dark and light and perseverance through the fragility of life.
Full Radius will perform two works for the festival; an expert from Peter, Alice & Dorothy and You Were Once Wild Here. The expert is from the company's full-length evening which explores physical disabilities in classic children's literature. The second work is FRD's commission for A Time with Isadora and uses the work of modern dance pioneer Isadora Duncan and the visual art of Abraham Walkowitz as its basis.
The Georgia Ballet will bring their outstanding ballet technical skill to the program by performing the Act III Pas de Deux from Coppélia. This choreography by Maris Petipa from the late 1800s will be performed by two of the company's immerging artists and celebrates the wedding of the main characters. More immerging artists will join the program with a piece performed by ImmerseATL. This organization is a training and mentoring program for young contemporary artists. This company will present a collaborative work created by well-known Atlanta artists Ann Bracewell Crowder, Sarah Hillmer and George Staib.
