Nashville Ballet Hosts Community Conversation Series

As a prelude to Erase the Night, Nashville Ballet will be hosting a series of three Community Conversation events, with the first one being this coming Wednesday, January 22, that will serve as an opportunity to create inroads in our community. In partnership with state and local addiction and mental health resource organizations, we are offering educational programming and community conversations like these in order to spread awareness, provide resources, and share a message of hope. “The purpose of this art is to inspire us, heighten our emotions, and give us a visceral experience,” said Nick Mullikin, Artistic Director and CEO. “Sometimes these stories reach into the depths of struggle, sorrow, and how someone can be lost in the spiraling of addiction. But these stories also bring to light how strength can be discovered, how support can be shared, and how there is grace and profound beauty in the journey of recovery.” JOIN THE CONVERSATION Wednesday, January 22, 2025 6-7:30 p.m. The Martin Center for Nashville Ballet Our panelists will be: Nick Mullikin, CEO and Artistic Director of the Nashville Ballet Kristen Gilliland, Ph.D., Director of Outreach and Advocacy Program for Vanderbilt University Tiera Bethke, Research Assistant Professor for Vanderbilt University Mary Katherine Bratton, Nashville Ballet Relevé Society President, will moderate the panel This project is made possible thanks to support from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Sandra Schatten Foundation, and Nashville Ballet’s generous donors.
