June 24-26, Asheville's Terpsicorps Theatre of Dance presents The Rite of Spring & other works, 8:00 p.m. each evening, as part of the 2010 Summer at the Wortham Series. A portion of the proceeds from the show benefits the WNC Aids Project.
This is Terpsicorps' largest effort to date with 16 dancers on stage - twice the company's usual size - has drawn dancers from six of the nation's finest dance companies to Asheville with the opportunity to be a part of these performances. The Rite of Spring was first premiered by the NC Dance Theatre at the opening of Asheville's Diana Wortham Theatre in 1993, and has since been performed in hundreds of theaters across the nation. Heather Maloy and Terpsicorps ballet master Timothy Yeager were a part of the original cast and consider performing this work to be one of the highlights of their careers. Get Tickets...
