Terminus Modern Ballet Theatre Launches Wabi Sabi Terminus Series

Terminus Modern Ballet Theatre (TMBT) is thrilled to announce the return of its signature public performance series, Wabi Sabi Terminus, which is set to make its debut on October 30, 2025, at the breathtaking Atlanta Botanical Garden. Starting at 5:30 PM ET, attendees can expect a captivating performance entitled ECHO, an evening cherished for its artistic relevance and accessibility—admission is included with standard garden ticket purchases.

Originally birthed in 2011 by TMBT's Artistic Director, John Welker, the Wabi Sabi series was designed to present original contemporary ballet in publicly accessible spaces around Atlanta. The term wabi-sabi encapsulates the beauty found in imperfection and transience, themes that resonate deeply within the TMBT performance philosophy. In its reinvented form, the series will be guided by the talents of Lenai Wilkerson, Amalie Chase, and Elizabeth Labovitz, all contributing fresh perspectives to this established initiative.

Artistic Director John Welker shared, “Wabi Sabi has always been about transcending traditional barriers and enhancing the reach of contemporary ballet. This new chapter isn’t merely a revival, but an evolution of our artistic expression, reinforcing connections with the Atlanta community and extending our influence even further.”

The immersive performances will feature site-specific choreography across various locations in Atlanta, with shows scheduled for October 30, November 1, and November 2. This series not only aims to make dance more accessible but also strives to ignite inspiration and transformational experiences for all audience members.

Beyond its upcoming series, TMBT's dedication to community engagement is evident in its commitment to provide a platform for dance enthusiasts and professionals at all levels. The theatre has solidified its mission to democratize the art of ballet through both performances and educational opportunities presented year-round.
