Dance Performance | Four Dancers. Sculptural Objects. One Unforgettable Performance


Bow Echo, created by Bessie Award-winning choreographer Anna Sperber, is a work for four dancers, who move as both individuals and ensemble, continually shaping and reshaping the space between them.

Set in an open-air environment, Bow Echo expands beyond the stage, merging body, object, and atmosphere into a living field of resonance--where movement becomes structure, and structure becomes echo.

Award-winning journalist, radio host, and political analyst Clay Cane discusses his debut novel, Burn Down Master's House, a rallying cry for the disenfranchised, a reminder of the power of defiance, and a testament to the enduring spirit of resistance. A work of provocative historical fiction, it features four stories of resilience and grit, each based on the harrowing experiences of real individuals, form a single, intricate, and stunning narrative of identity, power, and resistance. About the book: As turmoil simmers within a divided nation, smoke from another blaze begins to rise. Sparked by individual acts of resistance among those enslaved across the American South, their seemingly disparate rebellions fuel a singular inferno of justice, connecting them in ways quiet at times, explosive at others. As these flames rise, so will they. Inspired by the true stories of the profoundly courageous men and women who dared to fight back, Burn Down Master’s House is a singular tour de force of a novel—breathtaking in scope, compassion, and a timeliness that speaks powerfully to our present era.

Dance Performance | Thikra: Night of Remembering -- Contemporary Dance Embodying the Power of Rituals in a Major Venue


Akram Khan Company presents the U.S. premiere of Thikra: Night of Remembering. Thikra, meaning 'memory' or 'recollection' in Arabic, is deeply rooted in the power of rituals. With arresting visual design by Manal AlDowayan and Khan's signature choreographic style--weaving the Indian classical dance form of Bharatanatyam with contemporary--past and present converge in a journey to connect with ancestral knowledge. Imagined as an annual gathering, a tribe of women come together for one night only to awaken the spirits of those who came before them. Through ceremony and shared remembrance, they transcend time, uniting past and present in a profound act of renewal.

Concert | Voces That Rise: Collective Music Experience To Elevate the Soul


See a performance from Argentinian vocalist, composer, and creative storyteller Carolina Mama thrives amid the friction of fusion that emerges between Latin traditional and U.S. pop, the intimacy of folk and the pulse of Hip-Hop, and the sweep of cinema and chaotic improvisations of jazz. Following the success of her 2025 debut album Amina, Mama's rapidly evolving artistry presents itself in a new and nuanced form with the premiere of her newest project, Voces That Rise. Carolina Mama will be supported on stage by a full band that features guitars, bass, drums, and trumpet alongside global percussion and a women’s choir whose soaring voices will transform the space into one of collective ritual. Enjoy a live experience where music is indistinguishable from testimony and harmonies elevate the soul. There are two ways to access this event: 1. General Admission, first-come first-served. Just show up! 2. Fast Track opening the Monday before the event at noon for all.
