A unique experience for me as a cultural arts fan and not so much a rap/hip hop fan. But I found it to be an extra-ordinary experience!!!! What a great way to get the younger generation and the older generation to experience the Arts. One of the most fascinating things I have seen in my 8 years of living in Atlanta. The diversity in the audience was sooooooo very amazing and intriguing. We say 80 year old white people (ballat patrons) mixing with 8 year old youngsters, 20-30 year old rappers, 40 year olds - just a whole lot of everything. There were black, white, Indian, Asian, etc. It was utterly awesome....However the one thing that I would like to see done differently in the future would be to replace some of the Ballerinas, with Ballerinas that can really catch the rhythms of the music when appropriate. The ATL ballet members were a bit awkward at times. One yeah and one last thing. The little boy & the oriental ballerina were AWESOME!!! This was a true Revolution.

(I learned that new word from my students, its a noun and apparantly must be used in every sentence)... I have seen in my life....you described it perfectly....I was delightfully uphauled! I now have permanent wrinkles between my eyebrows from the hours of confussion. I still don't know where to place it....in my life! I will add this to the hundreds of weird things I have experienced with you, shon, and wink. Shit!

It was an interestingly unique event. Big Boi in concert was great. The dancers were cool also. The mix of rap and ballet was a first exposure for me and it proved to be a most joyous mix. It was a great collaboration of two very different venues in one. Great review of the ‘big’ performance. It was an interestingly unique event. Big Boi in concert was great.

WHERE IS THE MESSAGE? What is the meaning of the show? or was it just another mediocre concert. The shound quality was bad, lots of static. What were they thinking....

WHERE IS THE MESSAGE?

What is the meaning of the show? or was it just another mediocre concert.

The shound quality was bad, lots of static. What were they thinking….

In my opinion it was meant to be ackward and out of sinc in some places. That was the story, 2 worlds colliding. If you noticed the performances became more cohesive as the show went on. Sometimes you have to drop judgements and stop over analyzing and you can experience something for what it is. If any more shows are scheduled, I highly recommend catching it!
