Joshua graduated from Douglas Anderson School of the Arts as a dance major and right after he moved to New York with a full scholarship to the Joffrey Ballet. He then worked with many different dance companies such as Jazz Roots and Elsco and touring around the U.S. and Canada. In 2012 he received a Young Arts Award for dance and was invited to perform in Miami, Florida for their exhibition. There he had the privilege of interviewing with Bill T Jones and Mikhail Baryshnikov. In New York, Joshua created a dance company that performed at Alvin Ailey studios.

Joshua has an extensive experience in the field of dance and working one on one with world-class ballroom dancers, commercial/Broadway dancers and USAG gymnasts. Joshua believes that “Dance is a creative expression but it’s built on strict repetition. Creativity is built on a strong foundation of hard work and discipline.”

Circle Modern Dance is proud to present Modern Dance Primitive Light, back home at the historic Laurel Theater in downtown Knoxville.

Experience the magic of Circle’s annual winter show, a Knoxville tradition celebrating connection and community. Each night features modern dances from local choreographers set to music from a live band.

This year, choreography by Darby O’Connor-Lanigan features Studio Arts for Dancers alumni in a special tribute piece to their shared movement background. Core dancers Louisa Rader, Kelly Arsenault, and Megan Wolfkill dance two duets by Klay Brooks and Kim Matibag, and Callie Dozier and Nate Barrett present new group pieces.

Grab a cup of warm, homemade wassail and celebrate this season by having a heart-to-heart with soloist Jill Frere and welcoming Circle’s newest choreographer, Alex Bruce.

Tickets can be purchased at the door with cash, check, or credit card or reserved before the date of the show on Eventbrite. This is a Penny4Arts production, so kids get in free with accompanying adult admission. As always, students and veterans get a $5 discount!
