Fortunately, it's possible get one last blast of all of the above at this week's Cocktails in the Garden event at the Atlanta Botanical Garden on Thursday evening, September 20, as the Atlanta Ballet's chamber group Wabi Sabi delivers another round of site-specific performances amid the orchids and Old-fashioneds. The performances are free with paid admission to the Garden, and the event includes one free drink, with more available for purchase. Cocktails begin at 6 p.m., with performances scheduled to start around 6:15 p.m.
The performance features five original pieces, including two by Atlanta Ballet principal dancers Tara Lee and Peng-Yu Chen. Also on the program are works by Nicole Jones, an Atlanta Ballet Fellowship dancer; Nathan Griswold, a former Atlanta Ballet dancer now with Germany’s Ballet Augsburg; and Gretchen Alterowitz, an associate professor of dance at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte.
