8/26/18 Elmwood Avenue Festival of the Arts

B.A.D. dug deep into our artistic side for this year’s EAFA, collaborating with Ballet Ex Machina to produce aerial arts infused with ballet and contemporary dance.  We used music that was shadowy and ominous and developed choreography to match, contrasting the edgy and industrial with delicate moments.  We choose rope and lyra for the simple elements of line and circle, and for the way they reveal the stripped down strength and dynamics of the performers.  Ballet Ex Machina contributed to the artistry with our grounded choreography, and a beautiful solo blending lyra and pointe work.

Big thank you to Living in the Buff studios and Glen Murray for capturing the moment.
