EMP Collective is delighted to present ATRIUM, a solo work from member, Noelle Tolbert. ATRIUM is our first new performance in 2016!

Four walls and no roof kind of life. ATRIUM melds dance, performance art, and movement research to create a healing sanctuary for audience and performer – celebrating the self’s power, strength, and love. Featuring the solo work of Baltimore-based mover, Noelle Tolbert, ATRIUM is a exploration of inner selves, the edifices we construct to protect them, and the liberation and power in unleashing them.
