Louise Runyon will perform "Tether," a duet with a double bass instrument. This dance/puppetry piece 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. In this show that "demonstrates what happens when two art forms collide," numerous other Atlanta artists will present their work.

Directions: Take I-20 west to Lee Street; Left on Lee Street; Left on Ralph David Abernathy; sharp Right on Metropolitan Parkway. Arts complex is immediately on the Right. Gate code will be posted. Once inside the gate, turn Right and go straight back past the end of the buildings to the other side of the courtyard. Gallery is next to the blue tower. Marta: Get off at West End station.

Inman Park Dance Festival
Trolley Barn
963 Edgewood Avenue, Atlanta 30307
Free!

Louise Runyon and Lori Teague will be performing an excerpt from their duet, "Double Coat." "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. Other dance companies will also be performing: Zoetic Dance Ensemble, Metropolitan Ballet Theatre, Good Moves Consort and Full Radius Dance.
