Texture Contemporary Ballet’s ninth season takes flight with Flying & Falling, July 18-21! The first exhilarating piece is set to the music of The Piano Guys, an instrumental musical group that reinvents popular songs with their unique classical flair. This new work is co-choreographed by Texture’s Artistic and Associate Artistic Directors, Alan Obuzor and Kelsey Bartman, showcasing pure passion and full-force energy right from the start.

Two pieces originally created for Texture’s annual WIP Choreography Project return, Kelsey Bartman’s collaboration with Texture dancer Madeline Kendall, Hats Off to the Greats which finds fun inspiration from the iconic flare and timeless films of the mid-twentieth century and Texture will present Molto Appassionato, choreographed by dancer Katie Miller and set to music by classical composer Felix Mendelssohn.

The program is rounded out by Alan Obuzor’s work, Reshifting Time, where the movement of his piece echoes the intensity and intricacies of music by Two Steps From Hell, who create soundtracks for movies.  Join us for a wonderful evening of dance and experience the exhilarating sensations of Flying & Falling!

When her father dies unexpectedly, graphic novelist Alison Bechdel dives deep into her past to tell the story of the volatile, brilliant, one-of-a-kind man whose temperament and secrets defined her family and her life. Moving between past and present, Alison relives her unique childhood playing at the family’s Bechdel Funeral Home, her college years and growing understanding of her own sexuality, and the looming, unanswerable questions about her father’s hidden desires. FUN HOME is a refreshingly honest, wholly original musical about seeing your parents through grown-up eyes. An unforgettable and groundbreaking musical, FUN HOME explores the haunting pull of memory and the power it has to alternately destroy or shape, our identity. By Lisa Kron, Jeanine Tesori (Violet) and Alison Bechdel, this 2015 hit Broadway musical was nominated for 12 Tony Awards, winning 5, including Best Musical, Best Original Score, and Best Book of a Musical.
