The event, which included cocktails and the premiere of “Amjad” at BAM’s Fort Greene campus, was produced by the organization’s director of special events, Glenn Stiskal.
Struck by the elegant movements and linear forms of “Amjad,” Bella Meyer of Fleurs Bella looked to translate this to a romantic and intimate design for the dinner. Focusing on florals and lighting, Meyer scattered petals on the floor, draped entryways with dark fabrics and flowers, and topped tables with centerpieces of roses and candles.
Sponsored by the Altria Group, the Next Wave gala honored the Harkness Foundation for Dance and raised approximately $700,000.
