January 6th, 2025 KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE. GO! Contemporary Dance Works presents
the return of its wildly popular ballet, ALICE in Wonderland on February 22 & 23 at the
historic Bijou Theatre! A Knoxville fan-favorite, ALICE: A Revolutionary Ballet is hailed as
one of GO! Contemporary Dance Works’ most beloved works, narrating the world of
Wonderland with eye-popping visuals, gravity-defying aerials, and stunning set design. Lisa
Hall McKee’s spectacular production reimagines this classic story in a whimsical style set to
famous scores by George Bizet, Leo Delibes, and others. ALICE will pull its audience down
the rabbit hole to meet instantly recognizable characters like the nervous white rabbit, a
spinning Mad Hatter, and a terrifying Queen of Hearts.
This large-scale production includes a cast of over 70 talented dancers with work from six
choreographers, featuring professionals and a lead guest artist from New York City. At the
heart of the ballet is McKee’s captivating choreography which has been lauded by Knoxville
reviewer, Alan Sims, The Urban Guy: “These productions are challenging and innovative
from beginning to end. The colors, the movement, the costumes, the story, and of course, the
dancing are compelling, but it is the choreography that leaves me bewildered every time.”
This revolutionary ballet integrates vibrant costuming, elaborate scenery, and animated
projection to bring the colorful wonderland to life on the Bijou Theatre stage.
This will be GO!’s 21st season performance with showtimes on Saturday, February 22nd at
2:00 and 7:30 PM and Sunday, February 23rd at 2:00 PM. Tickets go on sale on January 7th
