inspiration
What dries an artist to create new work? Why does a
performance stay with you long after the curtain falls?
What takes your breath away? All performances are
born from inspiration, an instant that propels the artist
to transform an idea into cultural practice that lights the
re of learning, discovery and understanding.
Carolina Performing Arts 2010/11 season brings
together the most imaginatie and creatie performers
in eery style from around the world, where you can
see across cultures, around boundaries and beyond
conventions. Here, you can renew old friendships that
bring forth memories from the past, and share new
experiences that shape the memories for the future.
The world lies before you, right here in Chapel Hill.
Come be inspired.
