Sasha Janes, a Company member in his seventh season, presents Glass Houses based on a sculpture by Shaun Cassidy called Taking Time. Cassidy is a former artist-in-residence at the McColl Center for Visual Art. The piece is set to music by Kronos Quartet and Yo-Yo Ma.

Glass Houses is meant to be a loose interpretation of the new media we face today, such as Facebook and MySpace, and how it really affects individuals, said Janes. This piece looks at the good and bad that can come from people sharing so much of their lives online.

From Australia, Janes danced professionally with the Australian Ballet, Chautauqua Festival Ballet, Dayton Ballet, Hong Kong Ballet and West Australian Ballet, before joining North Carolina Dance Theatre. In addition to dancing and choreographing, he also serves as rehearsal director.
