John McFall
Artistic Director
For 13 years, John McFall’s artistic vision has gracefully guided Atlanta Ballet as it continues to grow as one of the premiere dance companies in the United States. In that time, his imaginative and innovative programming has inspired audiences throughout Georgia, the Southeast and even New York City. A hallmark of John’s has been his collaborative spirit which has fused the art of dance with such performers as the Indigo Girls, the Red Clay Ramblers, The Michael O’Neal Singers, and Newbirth Missionary Baptist Church. Through these creative partnerships, John and the Company have stayed in step with the vibrancy of the city of Atlanta. In 2008, John is breaking new ground by bringing together another Atlanta legend, Big Boi of OutKast, who will perform onstage with the fabulous Atlanta Ballet dancers. John has opened the door for tomorrow’s dancers through the Atlanta Ballet Centre for Dance Education, where hundreds of young dancers are able to experience the joy of dance for themselves. The Centre has produced many professional dancers who have gone on to join Joffery, Alvin Ailey and even 12 who have joined the ranks of the Atlanta Ballet professional company. The Centre also provides outreach initiatives that brings dance to thousands of students throughout metro Atlanta each year. He is committed to building a distinctive profile with the highest standards for the Company and students.
