New dancing into the new year
Former Ballet Austin principal dancers Gina Patterson and Eric Midgley have created Voice Dance Company, which leaps into its debut performance this weekend.
The award-winning Patterson premieres a selection of her new short works and also presents the Austin premiere of her critically acclaimed work ‘My Witness’ first performed in March at DanceWorks Chicago. As in the Chicago premiere, folk trio Sons of the Never Wrong will provide the live music to Patterson’s dance piece.
Patterson’s been active on Austin’s indie choreography scene — such as it is — and beyond. Her dances have not only been performed for Ballet Austin but also regional companies such as Richmond Ballet, Ballet Florida and Nashville Ballet, among others.
8 p.m. Friday and Saturday
Kleberg Stage, Zach Theatre, 1510 Toomey Road
