Wendy Whelan, who recently retired as a principal at New York City Ballet, is touring the country with her program Restless Creature, which features her in duets with four choreographers. She performs Tuesday, January 27th at the Rialto in Atlanta, so she stopped by Atlanta Ballet's studios while she was in town to give a master class for the Centre for Dance Education Conservatory students. She was incredibly gracious, and it was such a pleasure to host her during her visit. Make sure you get tickets to her show - details are below!

Wendy Whelan: Restless Creature
Tuesday, January 27, 2015 at 7:30 PM

In her 25 years with New York City Ballet, Wendy Whelan has built an impressive repertory that spans classical and contemporary. With Restless Creature, Whelan has called on four distinct young choreographic voices – Kyle Abraham, Josh Beamish, Brian Books, and Alejandro Cerrudo – to produce and perform a signature work in duet with her. Restless Creature explores each choreographer’s particular movement style and esthetic while capturing Whelan’s “uncompromising, generous, bold, enthusiastic, adult, at the same time decisive and investigative” (The New York Times) talent. Tickets start at $42.
