THE FEAST: A BALLET

Congratulations to dancers Christina Lindhout and Kelly Korfhage for their new choreographic work “FEAST, a ballet.” Their team for the project, called the Creative Destruction Collective, was awarded a Satellite Fund grant administered by SPACES and supported by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. In addition, the choreographers for the project also received an Akron Soul Train Award. The Creative Destruction team is in the process of filming a ballet that illustrates the interconnectivity of environmental degradation, trade, economic theories and wealth distribution. The team includes dancers Kelly Korfhage and Christina Lindhout, Law Professor Dr. Dalindyebo Shabalala, Sustainability Journalist Marc Lefkowitz and Artist Corrie Slawson. Creative Destruction is a shorthand economics term for free market Capitalism. A combination of sculptural and store-bought objects with the movement of six dancers to music will convey the complex narratives of six commodities. The project will premiere in November online and is also presented by Curated Storefront in
