The High Road -- In the Bright (Presented by Art on the Atlanta BeltLine)

Crossover Movement Arts (www.crossovermovementarts.com) invites audiences to explore the Atlanta BeltLine’s (beltline.org) airy heights and expansive vistas in “The High Road: In the Bright,” the first performance in a two-part production, May the Road Rise to Meet Us. This performance is presented free of charge thanks to a grant from Art on the Atlanta BeltLine (art.beltline.org).

The journey begins on the Atlanta BeltLine near 933 Kirkwood Ave, Atlanta, GA 30316, across from Stein Steel, and travels a short way south along the BeltLine.

Like adventurous anthropologists, audience members will encounter and walk amongst an exotic group of strange rangers who explore and revitalize the Atlanta BeltLine, guiding the audience deeper into the real and imagined landscape.

Crossover performers will create openings in the liminal spaces between worlds, performing rituals that allow people to enter unseen realms, while the brilliantly crafted sounds of composer Allen Welty-Green and his band, Zentropy (gnosisarts.org/zentropy/), saturate the air and imbue it with possibility.

“The distance we travel together with the audience won't add up to much more than 100 yards,” says artistic director Blake Dalton, “but I hope that the journey our imagination takes will cover much more ground.”

At journey’s end, all the path’s travelers will refresh themselves with lavender lemonade, then linger to enjoy further performances by Beacon Dance and Full Radius.

Don't miss the second part in Crossover's 2013 Art on the Atlanta BeltLine series, “The Low Road: In the Shadows,” on October 12 at Gordon White Park.
