I’ve not been to as much concert dance this season as in the past: that along with chamber music has kind of fallen to the wayside as I’ve attended more dramatic theater or otherwise have been too busy or tired to make it to shows. As such, I was pretty happy when I noticed that Atlanta Dance Collective’s Raw was being staged on a random Friday that I had free and also was being staged conveniently close to where I lived at the Atlanta Dance Academy (TADA).

Atlanta Dance Collective’s Time + Itinerant at Synchronicity Theater included four dance pieces by four choreographers in four distinct styles with 3 1/3 distinct ensembles of performers.

Overall, the evening not only offered great bang for the buck but also some pretty decent dance and film.
