1. "In This House"
Premiered June 2023 as part of the 2023 Beltline After Dark Festival. Support for this work was provided by Art On The Beltline and was created as part of my participation in the Meli Kaye Artist Residency at Decatur School of Ballet.
“In This House” is loosely inspired by Ibsen’s play, “A Doll’s House” and explores themes of family structures, gender roles and materialism through a queer lens. This piece features choreography by Meaghan Novoa in collaboration with dancers Charray Helton, Aryanna Allen, Charlie Baker, Emily Davis, Jenna Lathan and Kris Wells and also features original music composition by Dan Carey Bailey and video art projection by Sean Dahlman.

Inspired by the concept of “muse” this dance work takes inspiration from some of Meaghan’s favorite neo-classical, heteronormative duets in ballet and contemporary dance as well as their past duet work and reimagines the traditional pas de deux through a queer lens.
