“It is in the dance of life that we collaborate with our individuality to create the beautiful orchestra of community.” – Acia Gray, Director
“Who Am I?” is the question for a family of Austin artists and the answers are thread throughout a collaborative concert in the magic of movement and sound. Featuring some of the most celebrated dance, vocal and music artists Austin has to offer, “The Precious Present” includes vocalist Nagavalli; modern/contemporary dancers Sharon Marroquin; Bharatanatyam master Anuradha Naimpally; local Flamenco legend Olivia Chacon; Austin's arts Ambassador and actor Robert Faires, long-time local African dancer China Smith; flow artist Kelly Bach and director Acia Gray among others TBA.
Opening with “what it is to be present” as a human soul is an “inner voice” presented by recently retired Austin Chronicle arts writer Robert Faires. With production design by Stephen Pruitt the audience is led by a soundscape of incredible jazz musicians including Masumi Jones on drums, Dylan Jones on bass and Austin Kimble on piano.
This new work celebrates a musical and physical collaboration of diverse voices within our Austin arts ecosystem. All unique yet traveling together and not alone - an artistic human tapestry of life that holds itself together as ONE.
