The pioneering 20th-century choreographer George Balanchine once said, “Dance is music made visible.” Dance Canvas explores the conceptual layers of the art form in their work and initiatives. They will showcase works of new artists this weekend at Georgia Tech’s Ferst Center, and premiere three new dance films tonight as part of their new “Dance Canvas: on Film” program. City Lights host Lois Reitzes spoke with Dance Canvas artistic director Angela Harris and their professional program manager Dana Woodruff, along with dancer/choreographer Atarius Armstrong about this weekend’s activities.
