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.
