Collage Dance Collective: RISE
Cannon Center for the Performing Arts
255 North Main Street, Memphis, TN 38103
RISE is a homecoming - a selection of works that reclaim joy, tradition, and cultural legacy. In the heart of winter, Collage takes the stage with a powerful program that honors resilience and collective strength, featuring world premieres and Memphis debuts that speak to the richness of Black identity and the beauty of forward motion.
Why We Like It
- The Cotillion, a vibrant new ballet inspired by the enduring legacy of Black cotillions in the American South.
- Flack, set to the music of Roberta Flack, and Thomas's neoclassical work Rise, set to Dr. King's Mountaintop speech.
- The program moves between ritual and resistance, celebration and conviction, our rich heritage and tomorrow's dance luminaries.
Who Should Attend
Dance enthusiasts, fans of Black culture and heritage, and those interested in powerful, thought-provoking performances that celebrate resilience and community.
