We know color. They know movement. For Richmond Ballet’s Moving Art Two: Elevation, we worked with Eric Lusher and Karnes Coffey to bring the two together in COLORFORMS - a vibrant visual world where contemporary ballet, bold geometry, and saturated color all share the stage. Nothing we love more than collaborating with people who are really, really good at what they do. 💚💛💙
