In her new work, “Dear Roots: An Interview,” choreographer Darian Kane personifies her dancers as mushrooms, to show “a day in the life of an employee in the communication network that lives beneath the Earth.” Darian Kane is a four-year Atlanta Ballet Company dancer, and her piece features several other talents from Terminus Modern Ballet Company.
