NOISE REDUCTION
Breakout Atlanta choreographer Graham Shelor is thrilled to announce his upcoming dance performance, NOISE REDUCTION, an evening-length contemporary dance work about listening. This work is an excavation of listening practices, exploring their capacity for harm and liberation. Filled with humor, dread, and conviction, NOISE REDUCTION bravely asserts the vital role art must play in this moment: to demand that stories be heard and to ignite crucial conversations. For one-night-only, this uniquely invigorating performance will ask audiences to listen deeply. Don't miss out! Purchase your tickets now for this unique and compelling performance.
