Join Asheville School for a dance technique and repertory workshop with NC Dance Festival Touring Artists Kristen Taylor Duncan and Megan Mazarick. Open to students in 8th – 12th grade.
The NC Dance Festival is an annual festival produced by the Dance Project that aims to support the creation of new choreography and the presentation of high-quality repertory, build and strengthen relationships between dance artists within North Carolina and provide access to and education about modern and contemporary dance to audiences and students. The festival presents work by some of the best modern dance choreographers in the state. This year, the festival has performances in Asheville, Durham, Charlotte and Greensboro.
In conjunction with the NC Dance Festival Asheville performances, the Asheville School Fine Arts Program will host “Moving with Makers,” a dance technique and repertory workshop featuring two NC Dance Festival artists on Saturday, September 29, from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. for area students in eighth through twelfth grades. The workshop will take place in the Walker Arts Center’s Graham Theater on Asheville School’s campus.
Students are invited to join NC Dance Festival artists Kristin Taylor Duncan and Megan Mazarick for an afternoon of movement. Students will have the opportunity to participate in a technique class and learn selected repertory while gathering insight into the artists’ choreographic approaches.
This class pairs with the NC Dance Festival’s opening show, which will take place at the BeBe Theater in Asheville on Friday, September 28. The show will feature the work of four NC Dance Festival artists, including Duncan and Mazarick. By pairing the workshop with the evening performances, students will gain a deeper perspective into the world of working artists.
For more information or to sign up for “Moving with Makers,” contact Asheville School Chair of Fine Arts Kathy Leiner at [email protected] or 828-215-2410. Workshop tickets are $5 or free with the purchase of tickets to the NC Dance Festival in Asheville: Bebe Theater.

The Garcia Project will perform a full, classic Jerry Garcia Band show setlist!
The Garcia Project is the only nationally touring Jerry Garcia Band tribute that performs full, classic Jerry Band set lists from 1976-1995. We have been called by many, “the DSO of JGB”. With proper, era-specific equipment and arrangements, The Garcia Project brings the fans back in time to relive the classic Jerry Garcia Band concerts in their entirety.
“I spent a lot of nights in a lot of places with the Jerry Garcia Band, and I’m here to say that I really enjoy what The Garcia Project does with those memories. Mik’s guitar and his and Kat’s vocals stir up some very sweet vibes…some times they almost make me feel like I’m back in, say, 1992 at the Warfield. Check ‘em out.”
— Dennis McNally, former publicist for the Jerry Garcia Band
