Raven's Evermore Series Presents: JOEL HALL DANCE PERFORMING "PHOENIX RISING" - Sunday, February 26, 2012

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND...

JOEL HALL DANCE!

The Joel Hall Dancers will perform Phoenix Rising at the Raven Theatre on Sunday, February 26th at 7 pm. In addition to Phoenix Rising, this concert will feature a new work by guest artist and choreographer Jim Morrow. Artistic Director Joel Hall shares the following remarks about this production:
 
"Phoenix Rising is a choreographic work set around the human condition evolving from one state to the next concluding in affirmation and unity. The ultimate state of man/womankind. The work was first choreographed after the fire at our studio on School Street in 1994. I thought to bring this work back as a suggestion of our Board Chair Ms. Margaret Thomas. We are now evolving to another level on the adventure of the school and companies."
 
Tickets: $35 for general admission
($30 for senior citizens, JHDC students and teachers, and Raven Theatre subscribers)
