Outkast's Big Boi is gearing up to join the Atlanta Ballet next year for a special series of collaborative performances.

The performance, entitled the "World Premiere Collaboration," will be part of the company's Premiere Series and will take place from April 10-13, 2008 at either the Fabulous Fox Theatre or the Cobb Energy Center, both located in Atlanta.

Billing the event as "daring, progressive and soulful" according to the Atlanta Ballet website, the performances will see Big Boi as well as artists from his own Purple Ribbon Entertainment providing a musical backdrop live on stage for the Atlanta Ballet dancers.

Additional details concerning the performance are scheduled to be released at a later date.
