After three solid season concerts at the Historic Asolo Theatre and an artistically busy year, Fuzión Dance Artists has been invited to collaborate with A. Paul Johnson and the Salvador Dalí Museum. This will be the first time that all three organization have partnered up to bring music, dance, and visual art to life in one space. Audience members will be encouraged to visit the museum an hour prior to the show to familiarize themselves with Dalí's work and life story. The performance will take place in the back of the museum in a small intimate space where the dance artists will transform the performance space into a multi-media experience with projects, lights, costume, props, and to the sounds of A. Paul Johnson. A. Paul Johnson's original score is inspired by 11 Dalí's paintings which the dance artists have been studying and using as inspiration for the "Hello Dalí" performance.Fuzión Dance Artists has invited artists from around the region to share in the creative process and joining forces in co-creating with Ms. Wilmott is Kristin O' Neal from Gainesville, FL.
