Beacon Dance Kicks Off 64th Performing Season with
Paper Stories: things could have gone differently
Beacon Dance, now in its 64th performing season, will present an evening length immersive work, Paper Stories: things could have gone differently, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, October 24, 25 and 26, 2025, at The B Complex Gallery, 1272 Murphy Avenue SW, Atlanta, GA, at 8:00 PM each evening. This work lasting approximately 60 minutes is directed by Beacon Dance Artistic director D. Patton White, and will feature a multigenerational and mixed ability cast of 9. The performances will be shared as a work of public art and are free and open to the public. Complimentary refreshments will be available. Seating is limited and Reservations are strongly encouraged, and can be made by emailing [email protected] or calling 404.441.9243.
Paper Stories: things could have gone differently is the culminating production of the multi-year project The Paper Project, initiated by Beacon Dance in 2015. Paper Stories melds artifacts in paper form from the personal keepsake collections of the collaborating cast of performers with the embodied stories shared as recollections cued by the keepsakes. The audience will be able to immerse themselves in these personal archives shared as visual art installations and to interact with the performers through a variety of intentional and chance operations. Unleashing a broad scope of emotions, from humor to pathos, anger to forgiveness, the performers will bridge the ‘fourth wall’ in connecting with the audience. The performing cast includes Leah Behm, Eleanor Brownfield, Jaehn Clare, Lynn Hesse, Susan Keller, Alex Spitzer, Onur Topal-Sumer, D. Patton White and Carly Wynans.
Arrangements can be made for Audio Description and/or ASL interpretation by making a request at least 2 weeks in advance.
This program is supported by individual donors as well as funding from the City of Atlanta Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs and the Fulton County Board of Commissioners through Fulton County Arts & Culture.
