Texture Ballet finds inspiration in music

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: At its best, dance maintains a delicious mystery about it, coupled with a flickering play of movement that illuminates the imagination. Texture Contemporary Ballet will be toying with "Shades of Light" in its performances this week at the New Hazlett Theater, North Side.
Although the company is only in its third season, founder and artistic director Alan Obuzor is looking for the "shadow and depth and perspective" in his own life and in those around him. They will emerge in a trio of works, including associate artistic director Kelsey Bartman's world premiere, "This," set to music by Icelandic composer Valgeir Sigurosson, and a pair of ballets by Mr. Obuzor.
