Watch 'The Women of Artists x Athletes' Carolina Performing Arts Short Film

Episode two of the Carolina Performing Arts 'Artists are Athletes. Athletes are Artists' series focused on women who are at the top of their artistic and athletic games. The creativity and leadership of Alison Friedman, Sam Meza and Michelle Dorrance drove Episode 2 of the “Artists Are Athletes” series.

We compiled behind the scenes footage from the shoot into a short film that highlights all of the women who made this project a success.

It’s been a true collaboration with Carolina Performing Arts, Dorrance Dance and UNC Women's Soccer. One that’s been propelled by women.

Check out the other films we've made for this project including Episode Two of the 'Artists are Athletes. Athletes are Artists.' series and a Behind the Scenes Featurette.
