Potential Energies at BAM Fisher

A hybrid music ensemble and production hub that puts “a new face on classical music” (NPR’s Deceptive Cadence blog), the Nouveau Classical Project creates imaginative work through collaborations between the classical music and fashion worlds. The ensemble joins forces with choreographer Barbie Diewald and composer Trevor Gureckis to create Potential Energies, a bold new modern ballet where musicians, transcending their conventional roles, are paired with a dancer. These pairs act as two sides to a single identity attempting to reconcile ambitions with reality. Inspired by the emerging adulthood of the Millennial Generation, the arduous journey of artists, hope, and rude awakenings, Potential Energies is a daring undertaking by artists who are not only creating the work, but also living it.
