Jeremy Dutcher and Possesom Paul don t make any apologies about wanting to change the world.
The young Wolastoqi artists are at the beginning of a three-year project with the Atlantic Ballet Theatre that will culminate in a new production, and they hope another step forward in sharing their culture, making lasting connections and artistic excellence.
Dutcher, a composer and singer, says the opportunity to bring a Wolastoqey story into a ballet space and concert hall is huge.
