Pop Smart - See & Do: RIBS

(J. David Dishman)

The Atlanta dance community welcomes back Coriolis Dance choreographer Elizabeth Dishman for RIBS, Fri.-Sun., MARCH 14-16, featuring the works of Dishman and four Atlanta choreographers. The dance cuts both ways, emphasizing the importance of self-identity in a group dynamic while stressing the need for community to bring out the best in the individual. Dishman is on a streak; her piece was performed to sold-out shows last month in her new home base, New York City. Including her four local collaborators – Rose Caudle, Susan Eldridge, Sarah Evens and Molly Perez’s indieMOVE, and George Staib – the evening pulls together 25 professional Atlanta dancers and five from New York. $10-$15. Fri.-Sat., 8 p.m.; Sun., 3 p.m. 7 Stages Theatre, 1105 Euclid Ave. 404-931-0212. www.7stages.org.
