Dear Friends,
Welcome to a new season at the Ferst Center.
This season will mark my first year of programming–
a year that intensifies our focus and engages new
and existing communities.
When I came to the Ferst Center I noticed that
contemporary dance and jazz audiences had
developed almost organically to be the anchors of
the season. I saw an opportunity to bring those two
genres to a new level. I also found it interesting that
these performing arts are genuinely and uniquely
American–their roots are deep in the cultural
landscape that we as Americans cherish–they are
bold, adventurous and complex.
I am proud that we have sought to define our
programming in a way that is uniquely Georgia Tech–
engaging artists that simultaneously engage the
campus community and the greater Atlanta community.
Programs such as Dance Dialogues and Jazz Connect,
which create opportunities for deeper audience
interaction, are part of how we want to go beyond
the performance. In addition, our new residency
program, ARTech, will allow us to share the year-
long creative process of the very amazing young
choreographer Jonah Bokaer.
I hope that you have the opportunity
to dig deeper into one type of program or
sample the diversity of artists we offer.
I invite you to share in the journey this
year in as many ways as you can.
Cheers,

George A. Thompson
Director

New!
ARTech Dance Residency program features choreographer Jonah Bokaer
The 2010-11 Season features the first of a new
dance residency program at Georgia Tech titled
ARTech that will explore the connection be-
tween art and technology. Each year a different
dance artist will visit the campus several times
as the artist works to develop a new piece that
employs science or technology as an integral part
of the creative development process.
New York-based choreographer and media
artist Jonah Bokaer will begin his ARTech resi-
dency in the fall of 2010. Bokaer will explore the
use of motion capture in performance, working
on campus with Georgia Tech’s interactive com-
puting department, and will work in collaboration
with the GT College of Architecture and the Music
Technology program. The youngest artist to work
ARTech
with the legendary Merce Cunningham, Bokaer has
dedicated a short lifetime to expanding live perfor-
mance through choreography, digital media, cross-
disciplinary collaborations, and social enterprise in the
United States and internationally.
The season-long residency concludes with a
performance of the new piece, titled Filter, on April
2, 2011. During the residency, Bokaer will open his
creative process to the community and to students of
all ages, from Georgia Tech and Emory to our school
partners, Grady High and Centennial Place Elemen-
tary. Information on panel discussions, as well as
more information about Bokaer and ARTech, can be
found at www.ferstcenter.org. Updates will be posted
on the Ferst Center’s Facebook fan page throughout
the year.
