Under Perri’s direction, ATG served as Managing Producer of TheEdwardMorganBallet.

Then, TheEdwardMorganBallet featured special performances by Gavin Perri headlining the New York City Halloween Parade, and in “Ballet on Mars: Mission V,” inspired partially by Perri’s geophysics research at Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory through the National Science Foundation (NSF) focusing on the fluid dynamics of extraterrestrial impacts on planet Earth. Perri’s geophysical contributions remain available through Harvard’s Astrophysics Data System in partnership with NASA and the Smithsonian.
