Episode 25
Thursday, 10 July, 2025
The Founder and Artistic Director of the ballet company Terpiscorps was the latest guest on the "Behind the Curtains" podcast being produced by the Asheville Theater Alliance. In our wide-ranging interview, she tells us how she got in the dance arena from an early age, some impressive accolades and honors she earned while still a teenager, the impetus behind her founding Terpiscorps and its unique benefit it provides dancers, and an interesting factoid about "The RIte of Spring" composed by Stravinsky. We also go into her process for choreographing new dance productions and her advice to patrons who are a little intimidated by ballet. Finally, get all the details about the deep and moving upcoming production of "Appalachian Phoenix" which honors the heroes of Hurricane Helene.
