Ballet East goes “Tribal” this weekend, which means that company choreographers Melissa Villareal, Ananda Moss, and Marlo Wanielista-Berg, along with Tapestry Dance Academy’s Sharon Marroquin and Ballet Austin’s Eric Midgley, will use movement to explore issues of belonging, of the ties that bind, and of the groups we’re bound into and how they can lower us to barbarism or lift us to redemption. Four performances: March 25-28, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, 8pm, and Sunday, 2pm, at the Dougherty Arts Center, 1110 Barton Springs Rd. For more information, call 385-2838 or visit www.balleteast.org.
