Now it seems projectALCHEMY is everywhere. Young choreographers and dancers from the company\u2019s mentorship program, Momentum, performed original works earlier this week at the Dali Museum, interpreting the gargantuan paintings in Hough Hall created by SHINE muralists.<\/p>\n

The Moving Surreal program will be performed again, with Jones himself as \u201cdocent,\u201d Tuesday (Oct. 21) at 7 p.m. Find info and tickets here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlchemy,\u201d loosely translated, means \u201ctransformation,\u201d and that\u2019s what makes Alexander Jones tick \u2013 his restless creative nature transforms, and is transformed by, his many collaborations with other artistic disciplines. Most recently American Stage, The Florida Orchestra and Jobsite Theater.<\/p>\n

Listen to the interview \u2013 we talk about a great many of these transformative works. Click on the arrow.<\/p>\n
