For Audiences

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?

60 Years of Ailey Ascending
When Alvin Ailey and a small group of African-American dancers took the stage on March 30, 1958 at New York City’s 92nd Street Y, the engagement was for one night only, but it turned out to be the start of a new era in the arts. Mr. Ailey became one of the groundbreaking greats in modern dance history, while the work of his Company grew beyond the limits of the stage to encompass education at all levels, community outreach, and cultural diplomacy. Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater now embodies six decades of achievement, celebrating the human spirit with performances that unite and inspire all. Join us for a year of performances, special events, and community activities as we honor his pioneering legacy and carry it forward.

IMPRINT, an evening length performance at The B Complex choreographed by Sarah Stokes, explores the phenomenon of change, specifically our human reaction to shifts in our relationship to, and with other humans. The work developed from stories of multiple women told through poetry by Hannah Stokes and is set to a musical score by Jonathan Maiocco. The movement, and relationships between the dancers provide a multifaceted look at the responses we can have to the ever-changing scope of human connection throughout life. The piece will feature original artwork by Danielle Rose.

Performances begin at 8pm Friday and Saturday, and 4pm on Sunday.

***Join us Saturday after the show for a celebratory reception! Purchase tickets through the link. Complimentary refreshments and beverages provided.

One of the oldest surviving classical masterpieces and August Bournonville’s most lasting contributions to dance, La Sylphide is a magical story of forbidden love and heartbreak. Set in the mist shrouded Scottish Highlands, a land of mystery and enchantment, a young Scotsman falls under the spell of a sylph, a fairy-like spirit. He devotes himself to her, but their romance is doomed and a life together an impossible dream. A work of ethereal beauty, La Sylphide is an enrapturing tragic love story that will pull at the heartstrings and dazzle with its technical fireworks.

another piece apart, a duet resting in silence, reflects on a history of fractured togetherness and a shared love of dance to blur boundaries between bodies in space. The movement is off-balanced yet precise and multi-focused. The knotted partnering reaches into tones of touch.

another piece apart has received support from New York Live Arts at Live Artery, The Bates Dance Festival, Amherst College, and the School for Contemporary Dance and Thought in Northampton, MA.

Jennifer Nugent and Paul Matteson premiered their first duet, “Fare Well”, at Danspace Project in 2006, beginning an ongoing exploration into partnering that at once honors and challenges personal possibility. They are BESSIE Award receiving performers who danced together with David Dorfman Dance, Lisa Race, and The Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company. They have 2018-19 performances of their recent duet, “another piece apart”, at New York Live Arts, The Kaatsbaan Center, The Boston Dance Complex, Emory University, and The University of Virginia.
