Major Expansion in Fourth Season
The Open Dream Ensemble has a major expansion in its fourth season with performances throughout North Carolina, as well as selected engagements in other parts of the Southeast. Open Dream Ensemble connects the palpable experience of live performance with artist residencies and educational workshops that align with school curriculum. Having captured the imagination of more than 32,000 students, Open Dream Ensemble is a creative force of transformation, affirming that the arts are vital, enthralling and relevant to the well-being and enrichment of young people.
"Open Dream Ensemble provides the world of professional performing arts experiences for audiences of all ages who are young at heart," says Dr. Margaret S. Mertz, Executive Director of the Thomas S. Kenan Institute for the Arts. "By creating multi-disciplinary original works that touch on themes common to our human experience, Open Dream Ensemble electrifies the senses, invigorates the imaginations, and expands the minds of all who experience their work."
The 2008 season opened July 29 with a week-long run at Roanoke Island Festival Park in Manteo, NC and the debut of its newest original show, The Red Planet.
In addition to performances in more than 15 venues throughout North Carolina, Open Dream Ensemble will take its innovative program to other venues in the Southeast, including Panama City, FL; Statesboro, GA; Atlanta, GA; Paducah, KY; Huntington, TN; Clemson, SC; Greenwood, SC; and Martinsville, VA.
"The expansion of our season is a very significant step for us - Open Dream Ensemble has established a proven track record, "says General Manager Rebecca Nussbaum. "We are now ready to take our shows to a broader audience, where we can continue to demonstrate the power and relevance of the arts."
Open Dream Ensemble is working with Imagine Mars, a project of NASA and the National Endowment for the Arts, to create residencies for our 2008 – 2009 season and for scientific support with our new show, The Red Planet.
