The Distaff Series is a collection of five films produced by Britt Whitmoyer Fishel, through Atlanta Dance Collective, sponsored in part by The B Complex gallery.
The films examine sexual objectification and animalization of women in our everyday language, as well as through literature and advertising, while surveying the impact it has on the behavior of our culture. The work explores intersectional feminism through behavior mechanisms, in both our past and present societal patterns, while questioning changes, or disruptions that can break these patterns in the future.
There is this innate dependency that we have on other people; an inherent trust. When that is broken, when safety becomes compromised, and moral conduct becomes indecent, what happens to us, how do we navigate, how do we survive?

This class provides a highly structured environment for young males to learn classical ballet through an athletic approach.  There is an emphasis of discipline, responsibility, accountability and teamwork.  Limited scholarships are available.

This class stresses the fundamentals and basics of classical ballet (i.e. correct body alignment, basic barre exercises, 8 body positions, and center work.)

Join us for this fabulous opportunity to work with a current 1st company dance of Alvin Ailey, Daniel Harder. https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/classic/ws?studioid=296218&stype=-7&sTG=72&sView=day&sLoc=0
