Randy Duncan, former artistic director of the Joseph Holmes Dance Company and Dance Chair for Chicago’s High School for the Performing Arts, who has long delighted Knoxville with world premieres of his stunning dances, returns this year to offer the premiere of “Release,” a classic fast-paced work.
