NORWICH – A home-grown dance company with an international reach will bring its artistry to the Norwich stage this weekend, with performances at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday at the Chenango County Council of the Arts.

Phoenix Project Dance was founded in 2004 under the direction of Norwich natives Amber and Mike Perkins and is currently in its seventh season. “The idea that a bird is reborn from the ashes of its own demise was the inspiration for the company,” the Perkins state on the company’s website. “The re-invention of one’s self is the driving force behind the Phoenix Project’s artistic vision.”
