under the covers

Featuring the unique artistry of Atlanta-based choreographer Autumn Eckman and Christel DeHaan Artistic Director Joshua Blake Carter, our season finale will be a crowd-pleasing showstopper.

With a career that boasts stints at Giordano Dance Chicago, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, and State Street Ballet, Eckman is set to create a world premiere that will set the stage on fire.

“Eckman is a bright choreographic stylist, mixing solid design with color and sparkle.” -Chicago Tribune

Utilizing the hauntingly beautiful voice of vocal artist James Blake, Joshua Blake Carter presents the world premiere of Under the Covers, featuring covers of Roberta Flack, Billie Eilish, and Beyoncé. Carter’s new work explores the dynamics of human relationships behind closed doors: the good, the bad, the beautiful, and the ugly.

Back by popular demand is Carter’s 2024 Stories from the Corner Bar, featuring the soul-stirring music of singer/songwriter Brandi Carlile.

“…mirroring the emotional contours of Carlile’s songs in movement that sets attraction and rejection side by side, blending them so that it’s difficult to tell what’s getting the upper hand.” -Jay Harvey Upstage
