Dance + Live Performance | Pittsburgh City Paper: You could say the title of Texture Contemporary Ballet's latest program, Synergy, also names what has made the three-year-old troupe a success. The combined efforts of artistic director Alan Obuzor, associate artistic director Kelsey Bartman and an array of energetic dancers and choreographers have consistently produced programs whose total effect has exceeded the sum of their individual contributions.

I think Texture is really hitting upon something many much larger and more established companies are missing: broader demographic appeal. Mixing pieces set to Duke Ellington with numbers set to Macklemore is a bold move, but it turns this showcase into a common experience that appeals to many, and invites cross-generational discussion. This company is staying relevant while preserving the integrity of the dance form itself.
