Gaspard&Dancers
Friday & Saturday, May 2 & 3, 2025 at 8 p.m.
How far can your imagination take you? This renowned company, known for its works of haunting beauty and emotional force, dares to find out in one of many pieces planned for its Asheville program. The company’s founder, Haitian-born former Pilobolus dancer Gaspard Louis, has earned international acclaim for his versatile and inventive choreography, drawing inspiration from — among many other sources — the idea of believing in magic, the search for self-acceptance and the spiritual practices of his home country.
Contemporary Partnering Workshop with Gaspard Louis: Saturday, May 3 at 1 p.m. A playful, group-driven, physically challenging, and fun master class exploring spatial awareness, weight-sharing and balance/counter-balance techniques. Open to all level dancers ages 16+. $15.
