Shadows & Light by Circle Modern Dance

Join us at the museum for a collaboration of dance, music, and art as Circle Modern Dance, Knoxville Museum of Art, and Composer William Wright present Shadows & Light. A dance show that moves throughout the museum, inspired by the art of the KMA’s permanent collection and temporary exhibition, Electricity for All.

This is a site-specific performance that creates a summer’s evening of dance in conversation with the collection throughout the museum and its grounds. “The audience is invited to be engaged observers, noticing their effect on the dancers and how the dancers affect them, inspiring them to move out of their seats on the way to the experiences that await in the upper levels of the KMA.”

Featuring original choreography by Angela Hill, Kimberly Matibag, Nate Barrett, Heather Coker Hawkins, and Jill Frere, this immersive performance invites you to see art in a whole new way—through motion, energy, and sound.

Doors open at 6:30 pm. Performance begins in Bailey Hall at 7:00 pm. Light refreshments and cash bar will be available starting at 6:30 pm and again during a brief intermission. Because of this performance’s progressive nature throughout the museum’s three floors, seating is not guaranteed.

Tickets are $20 in advance on TicketTailor and $25 at the door with a $5 discount for students, seniors, military service members, and Knoxville Museum of Art Members. Shadows & Light is a show for all ages and participates in the Penny4Arts program, allowing children to attend for one penny when accompanied by an adult.
