Opening Night!!

Last night was the opening night of the Atlas INTERSECTIONS Festival.  I had the honor joining the Executive Director of the Atlas Performing Arts Center, Doug Yeulle, to do a brief introduction before the opening performance by Furia Flamenca Dance Company.  It was a fabulous performance full of energy and passion.  LOVED IT!!!  Olé!!  Even with the frigid cold weather outside, the house was packed and the energy was running high inside the warm and cozy Atlas Performing Arts Center.  We got to meet many artists and fans… and of course it’s always a pleasure seeing the amazing Artistic Director of the Atlas INTERSETIONS Festival, Mary Hall Surface and her great team.  We are thrilled and excited to be returning to this fantastic festival which features over 700 artists in more than 100 performances in a celebration of the energy and diversity of artists and audiences from DC and beyond.  We’ll be presenting our original production of ‘Hear Me Now!’ comprised of four innovative and fun pieces including ‘Face to Face’, ‘Just One’, ‘Motion in String’, and ‘That’s Mozart’.  It’s going to be a captivating and inspiring afternoon of dance.  Come join us!!
