Ideas Festival Emory

Covington Regional Ballet will perform More to Say, a contemporary dance performance that explores the passage of time, existence, and the human experience. Written by the young performers aged 11-17, the piece delves into life's mysteries and our place in the universe, offering a fresh perspective through the lens of youth. The choreography captures the balance between the vastness of the cosmos and the personal reflections of the dancers, weaving together themes of growing up, memories, and the search for meaning. By inviting the audience to reflect with a sense of nostalgia and wonder, the performance encourages a deeper appreciation for the fleeting moments that shape our lives and a renewed curiosity about the world.

More to Say was created by Jillian Mitchell, CRB's Creative Director and Resident Choreographer. Jillian trained at Harid Conservatory and Canada's Royal Winnipeg Ballet School and performed professionally with New Jersey Ballet, Rebecca Davis Dance, Roxey Ballet, Georgia Ballet, gloATL, Proia Dance Project, and The Atlanta Opera. In addition to working with CRB, Jillian is the founder of the celebrated Atlanta-based company Kit Modus and is currently on staff at The University of Georgia Dance Department.
