This past May, five former Atlanta Ballet dancers announced the creation of their own, new contemporary dance company – Terminus Modern Ballet Theatre. Their highly-anticipated debut is this weekend, and Lois Reitzes learned more about “exstasis” in an interview with Terminus co-founders John Welker and Tara Lee.
According to Lee, who created and choreographed the debut work, “exstasis … means to stand outside yourself.”
Welker elaborated, adding that the idea of standing outside yourself “leaves the physical self to allow you to be a part of a greater whole, a community of people, and that really speaks to our process and how we work.”
After selling out all four debut performances, Welker announced on “City Lights” that a Saturday matinee of “exstasis” was added to the schedule. You can also sign up for the waiting list on the Terminus website.
