Created by Atlanta Ballet Company dancer John Welker in 2011, Wabi Sabi challenges new audiences, fosters the next generation of choreographic talent and pushes the boundaries of ballet through the creation of new works.
By paring emerging choreographers with quality professional dancers, Wabi Sabi performances create an intense, uninhibited physicality of the pieces they present, with the whole being of each dancer choreographed into them. While the dancers shine, both individually and collectively, in their regular season performances, Wabi Sabi brings out a new multi-dimensionality from the company members.

Wabi Sabi takes
its name from a Japanese worldview that finds beauty in the sincerity,
simplicity, and integrity of the natural world. As one of the newest dance
initiatives in Atlanta, Wabi Sabi combines our city's own emerging
choreographers with beautiful and engaging and engaging venues for amazing
outdoor performances that bring art to the people.
