After last season’s “Tempo,” a funny and intimate multi-media dance performance that took a tongue-in-cheek look at the element of time, Catellier Dance Projects is now taking a leap into space with “... the final frontier,” premiering at Emory’s Schwartz Center for the Performing Arts, May 17-19. The work is part of an on-going series of performances based on the elements of dance: time, space, energy and the body.

“I started thinking about space and what it is that intrigues me about it,” says artistic director and Emory dance professor Greg Catellier. “I started thinking about outer space, architectural space and what it means to be close.”
