Complexions Contemporary Ballet Will Move to Atlanta, GA

November 28, 2001

NYC-based Complexions Contemporary Ballet will move to Atlanta, GA, in the spring of 2016.

According to ArtsATL
, the company is seeking a permanent home and a less-saturated dance environment. Complexions has never had a permanent rehearsal space and that has acted as a major deterrent to expanding its education programs.

The company is in talks with the Woodruff Arts Center, and will have a fundraising performance in October before its inaugural season in the spring.

The principal ballerina, in a red tutus and gold tiara, poses in an attitude front on pointe with her right arm raised and her left hand on her hip. Her male partner stands behind her in tendu, holding her waist with his right hand and raising his left arm up.
