In partnership with the Warren Miller Performing Arts Center, Roots in the Sky joins nationally-acclaimed dance company James Sewell Ballet for a collaborative project that uses a series of juxtapositions (ballet/choir, historical/contemporary music, urban/rural settings, and sacred/secular perspectives on death and grief) to ask questions about the ways in which we view ourselves in relation to others – to those we love, to those we will never know, to the earth, and to the heavens – through a counterpoint of ballet and choir.
