Rite of Spring Project — Right(s) — Phase II
This month, Peter was in Charlotte, NC, for Phase II of the 'Rite of Spring Project' - a collaboration between Charlotte Symphony and Charlotte Ballet. During this phase, Peter worked largely with the children involved in the project, participants of Charlotte Ballet's REACH Program. Approximately 70 of these young dancers will join Charlotte Ballet II and dancers of Charlotte Ballet's Training Program to premiere Right(s) in April. Peter thoroughly enjoyed connecting with these vibrant young minds, and looks forward to Phase III of the project in March. Right(s) premieres April 6-7, 2018; tickets for the performances can be purchased here.

Reflecting - December 2017 in Costa Rica
chuthis. spent two weeks closing out 2017 in the beautiful country of Costa Rica. In addition to our company's studio residency & showing, hosted by Danz Performing Arts Center, we also held chuthis. Movement Intensive. We were joined by many local dancers, as well as one dancer from Fresno, CA. Our time in Costa Rica was both enriching and inspiring, as you can see from the photos below. Thank you to Eileen Ramirez and Danz Performing Arts Center for making our December so memorable.
