GO! Contemporary Dance Works: Fall into Dance
Fri Sep 26, 8 PM
Tennessee Amphitheater at World’s Fair Park

Large outdoor dance performance with community building pre-show festivities. General seating, all tickets $20. On sale September 5.

Fall into Dance is an essential part of GO!’s annual programming and features a showcase of choreographic works in an array of style. This performance attracts an audience of newcomers and returning dance fans alike and brings choreographers from across the globe to GO!’s Knoxville audience.  This year’s line up continues with Skin of the Earth, a dynamic and intricate work to intense drum music by UK choreographer Rebecca Evans, Architecture of Stillness, an organic and emotionally driven piece reflecting on the rich architecture of the Smoky Mountains made by Mark Lamb, and two works by Marlayna Locklear that merge contemporary dance with Afro-fusion. The remainder of the platform includes additional new works by GO!’s core choreographers, as well as GO! Repertoire. Angst, a heavy metal tutu ballet performed to the music of Metallica played by Apocalyptica. A fan favorite, Angst has not been performed on the GO! stage since 2017. Additional repertoire includes Bound, a jazz ballet performed to Kid Koala, and the deeply emotional dance, My Dear Peggy, choreographed by Denise Njuguna, exploring the recovery pathways of stroke survivors. GO! invites Knoxville to fall in love with dance by attending this outdoor performance designed for all ages with pre-show festivities beginning at 7PM to include a performance by Knoxville band Mal Nombre. Refreshments will be available for purchase.

Children may attend for one cent with the purchase of an adult ticket ($20 for general admission seating).
