Runyon will present two new dance works: "Double Coat," a duet with Lori Teague, and "Tether," a brand new duet in which Runyon's partner is an upright bass instrument... Two other choreographers, Julie Galle Baggenstoss and Terry Hollis, will also present new work.

"Double Coat" is a "stealth romp" in black velvet coats with film noir flavor. This piece explores the larger-than-life, heightened tension of an "assignation," and the revelation of individual humanity and authentic relationship cloaked under this cover. "Tether" is informed by the dance that occurs between a musician and the stand-up bass, an instrument that inspires verticality and uprightness and one which keeps a tight rein on the musician, with significant implications on the question of relationship.

Julie Galle Baggenstoss is an Atlanta Flamenco teacher and dancer, and a knockout dancer and choreographer. She will present two new pieces, with five dancers and five musicians. These pieces are a real treat! Terry Hollis is an Atlanta native who has returned home after 16 years dancing in New York with many different companies. He is an exciting dancer and choreographer, not to be missed!
