ARTS Emory Dance Program presents world premiere of 'fence' by staibdance The seed for "fence," which runs Oct. 3-6, comes from Emory dance faculty George Staib's memory of a life-changing event during his childhood in Iran — the murder of two classmates at the Tehran American School where he studied.
