Celebrate the breadth of Atlanta’s dance community during two, free-admission performances of the Inman Park Dance Festival (IPDF) and its accompanying Dance Festival Film Showing.
This year’s Inman Park Dance Festival has things old and new to celebrate. The program itself will be 22 and is, to the best of our knowledge, the only free admission dance festival which pays its performers. New for 2024, is a film showing by Atlanta dance artists.
Live Performances
We invite you to enjoy six companies at the two live performances: three old friends and three new.
Old Friends
- Ballethnic will bring back both its fusion of classical ballet and west African and its drummers with dances by its pre-professional and professional companies.
- Full Radius Dance, the only company to appear in all 22 dance festivals, will premiere The Rain Sweep Through.
- The Georgia Ballet (GAB), which usually bring historic classical ballet, will present a neo-classical style piece, Heracles by company member Tim Kolman.
New Friends
- Callanwolde Pro-prime Movers (CPPM) is a very special addition this year, this troupe which is a program of the Callanwolde School of Dance will include in its ranks an Inman Parker who is about to graduate from their program.
- Kit Modus, our next new company, is a contemporary program that presents work by both local and national choreographers and will showing excerpts from Director Jillian Mitchell’s Scion
- Monica Hogan Danceworks (MHDW), our last new company will also present excerpts from an evening length work, they will perform three sections from counterpointe.
Film Showing
The dance festival’s major new development for 2024 is a film showing. Dance on film has become increasingly important. This year, we will present three films followed by an artist talk. The three films are:
- Restructured by Full Radius Dance
- Home Sweet Home by Jodie Jernigan
- Beauty Through Mattus which is a part of Movement Arts Atlanta’s major project A Time with Isadora
