Click here to read the full ArtsATL review of MAYhem: Kiss, including the special tribute performance to John McFall, Bless, that was choreographed by Tara Lee and performed by herself and the other senior members of the Company.

"In a final tribute to John McFall’s 21-year legacy as Atlanta Ballet’s artistic director, the company’s 2015-16 season closed with MAYhem: Kissed, a triple bill that proved as eclectic and eccentric as the man himself. The program — a quirky contemporary ballet, an experimental world premiere and a new classic performed over the weekend at Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre — encapsulated McFall’s long history and vision for the company’s future. Even the words on his T-shirt, which he wore under a pearlescent white blazer on opening night, summed up the adventurous spirit he has cultivated: 'In Art We Trust.'"
