Effervescence Collective presents take to the hills, featuring multiple new dance works centered on growth, nostalgia, and belonging. Founder and Artistic Director Faith Rokowski anchors the program with a piece capturing the quiet weight of leaving a small town and finding belonging elsewhere. Two additional, shorter works from collaborators will further explore these unifying themes. Join this merry band of artists as it journeys from a small town (population: 6,110) through personal evolution, shared memories, and the search for where we truly belong.

LOVE, LAND, LEGACY by VTDance/Vincent E. Thomas offers an intimate and powerful exploration of how we love, our place in the world, and the lasting impact we create. These compelling physical stories are brought to life by the incredible VTDance II ensemble and longtime collaborator, poet Michelle A. Nelson (aka Love the Poet). The evening is beautifully woven together by the evocative music of Dave Ballou, featuring excerpts from his newest work, The Detritus Suite for Jazz Orchestra.
