Breaking New Ground:
New Dance at Decatur Arts Festival
Beacon Hill Arts Center Studio Theatre
410 W. Trinity Place, Decatur 30030


Louise Runyon and Lori Teague will premiere "Double Coat," a "stealth romp" in black velvet coats inspired in part by film noir. The piece explores the larger-than-life, heightened tension of an "assignation," and the revelation of individual humanity and mutual relationship cloaked under this cover.

New choregraphy will also be presented by brooks & company dance, Blake Beckham, Brooks Emanuel, Myriam Farrero, Jamie Horban, Jahara Phoenix Dance Company, Notchyomama’s Modern Project, Julie Mueller and Ann Ritter.

Directions: From the entrance to the Decatur MARTA Station on Church Street: Go south on Church Street (towards Agnes Scott College); turn R at the first light onto Trinity Place. Beacon Hill will be several blocks down on the L, just before the railroad overpass. Entrance is in the FRONT of the building! Wheelchair access is up the ramp and through the stage door; all others enter through the theatre door, a little further downhill. Beacon Hill Arts Center shares a building with the Decatur Police Station; Beacon occupies the L-hand side of the building. Free parking on the street or in the parking lot on the NE corner of Trinity Place and Swanton Way, just east of Beacon.
