Live to Inspire

with Edwaard Liang and CM Campbell

Creativity is everywhere in Columbus, and all you have to do is stop and have a conversation with a resident to get inspired. (Openness and approachability are just the Columbus way!) We did, and that’s how we met Ballet Met’s artistic director, Edwaard Liang, the only Asian artistic director for a ballet company in the country and a figure who regularly inspires our community through his work.
