Crossover's 2011-2012 Season
Crossover Movement Arts' 2011-2012 season is our fullest and most exciting yet! We have seven confirmed shows in metro Atlanta and Houston, with more to come, all featuring Crossover's dynamic and muscular fusion of contemporary dance, Freestyle Poling, martial arts, performance art, experimental soundscapes, compelling artistic explorations, and playful euphoria. Venues this season will include intimate studio and theater shows, and several site-specific public performances — a specialty of Crossover's — with anticipated audiences from the hundreds for some events to the thousands for one.
Save the dates now, and check back often for details and new announcements. We look forward to sharing magical times and spaces with you.
