Join us as we return to LIVE THEATER in NSB's 2021 Fall Series, Tales of The Spirit!

“All That Is”, choreographed by Joseph Jefferies and set to the beautiful music of Tomaso Albinoni, had it's NSB premiere in Raray, France in 2015. We are thrilled to present it again in our 2021 Fall Series, Tales of The Spirit. Both in-person and Live-stream tickets are available at www.nsb.org for the October 23 & 24 performances.

“All That Is deals with themes of gaining empathy and learning how to forgive. The movement phrases contain references to some intensely personal episodes in the choreographer's life but the journey taken by the dancers in the piece is one that is universal to humanity.” -Joseph Jefferies, NSB's Resident Choreographer
