En l’air/á Terre: Grace Through Grounding
Join us for a one-night-only immersive photography and videography exhibit at Ridge Gallery! Featuring a collection of images created during a unique collaboration between photographer Mike Ethridge and dancers from Ballet Spartanburg, this show captures the individuality, artistry, power, and grace of each dancer. In addition, there will be a short film featuring a deeper look into the personal journeys of each dancer. Several Ballet Spartanburg dancers will be present, giving attendees an opportunity to meet the artists behind the images. Attendees will also have the chance to purchase season tickets for Ballet Spartanburg’s upcoming season and make a donation to the Pointe Shoe Fund, which helps to keep these athletes on their toes!
