Press Alert: The AJC Previews Home in 7

Click here to read The Atlanta Journal-Constitution feature on Home in 7 by choreographer Amy Seiwert, spoken word artist Marc Bamuthi Joseph, and musician/composer Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR). Home in 7 is one of the three works on the 20|20: Visionary program that runs March 18-20 at Cobb Energy Centre.

"First presented in 2011, “Home in 7” is one of the most synergistic collaborations built under artistic director John McFall’s watch, and a prime example of McFall’s efforts to carve out a unique identity for the company by commissioning works that reflect Atlanta’s culture and history.

Joseph explained that the work owes its synergy, in part, to Atlanta Ballet dancers’ versatility, plus a certain “elasticity” that is a part of the hip-hop culture that surrounded Joseph and Roumain as they grew up." - Cynthia Bond Perry, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
