What pushes the ordinary person to participate in revolution? \nWaves of Resistance is a comparative production which places these two points in history next to each other. Through music\, dance\, and theatrical storytelling\, the students of Silambam Phoenix present two tales of two disparate sets of people fighting for their right to self-governance. \n$20 Early Bird Tickets available until May 14\, 2026 \n$30 Tickets available until June 1\, 2026 \n\n\n\n\n\nASU Center for the Study of Race and Democracy is a presenting partner and are presenting a poster show on the background behind the two movements.

SUMMARY:BalletX
DESCRIPTION:Don’t miss the Arizona premiere of BalletX\, a company that honors the classical ballet tradition while boldly advancing the art form into exciting new territory. \nForging works of athleticism\, emotion\, and grace\, BalletX is Philadelphia’s premier contemporary ballet. The Philadelphia Inquirer called the company “art in motion\,” while using words like controlled\, sleek\, stunning\, inventive\, musical\, and surreal to describe BalletX’s performances. This is “dancing that you feel as you watch\,” according to The New York Times. \nThe program will include Become a Mountain\, a dance that simulates the arc of a mountain climb\, unfolding in three parts; Scales on the Wings of a Butterfly\, a meditation on the beauty and complexity that exist beyond the limits of human perception; and Sojourner\, where jazz-inspired dancers become their own instruments\, creating a rich tapestry. \nAbout the Company \nFounded in 2005 and led by Artistic & Executive Director Christine Cox\, the company has commissioned more than 80 choreographers from around the world to produce 150 world premieres that are “fresh\, inclusive\, and connect to what people want” (Philadelphia Citizen).

SUMMARY:Black Grace
DESCRIPTION:Making its Arizona debut\, Black Grace brings the raw power and ceremonial depth of Pacific Island movement traditions to the stage as it redefines what contemporary dance can be. \nNoting the company’s innovative flair and theatricality\, The Boston Globe says Black Grace “packs the raw visceral power of a primal communal rite into a carefully constructed form of rigor and sophistication.” The work itself is highly physical\, rich in the storytelling traditions of the South Pacific\, and expressed with unique beauty and finesse. \nDrawing from his Samoan and New Zealand roots to create innovative dance works that reach across social\, cultural\, and generational barriers\, Artistic Director Neil Ieremia has changed the face of contemporary dance in New Zealand and turned Black Grace into one of the most recognizable and iconic cultural brands. \n“The distinguishing spirit of this troupe is incredible speed and stamina\, an exhilarating\, seemingly inexhaustible energy.” — The New York Times \nAbout the Company \nBlack Grace is New Zealand’s leading contemporary dance company. It was founded in 1995 by Neil Ieremia (Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit)\, one of New Zealand’s most accomplished choreographers\, a creative entrepreneur\, and an inspirational leader. Ieremia draws from his Samoan and New Zealand roots to create innovative dance works that reach across social\, cultural\, and generational barriers. The Company features some of New Zealand’s finest dancers and has toured internationally to Europe\, Japan\, South Korea\, Mexico\, Australia\, and New Caledonia. In 2004\, Black Grace made its US debut\, performing a sold-out season at Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival.
