Blooming (ensemble) a joyful celebration or tradition, community and triumph.Twice as Many Flowers, by Valeria KozakUtilizing a collection of different compositional approaches, this piece celebrates self-discovery and living in acceptance of the unknown. Through an intimate environment, the cast navigates freedom in individuality while shedding the narrative of “fitting in”.RESPLANDOR, by Gabriela Brito“RESPLANDOR” explores the idea of identity and how it shifts due to location. Inspired by my Dominican roots and childhood experiences, this piece is a melting pot of styles including salsa, bachata and contemporary dance.Confidant, by Huimin Tang "Confidant" through solo and duet choreography, is dedicated to those who find themselves in the abyss of extreme despair. Believe that no matter when or where, even if the whole world stands against you, there will always be someone who understands you. believes in you, supports you and will catch you.The Thread Between Us, by Josie FarleyThis piece explores the strength of generational bonds, specifically between women.

It highlights the resilience and creativity required to modify choreography, demonstrating that movement can still be powerful and expressive despite physical limitations through structured improvisation.The Movement Cure, by Sofia ZwerdlingBallet contemporary fusion incorporated with a dancers personalized mental and physical health challenges. Connects dance with feelings of burnout, depression and anxiety with focus on individual therapeutic strength and endurance.Meeting the Master, by Mia Curran in collaboration with the dancersThe spiritual journey of a group of devoted followers as they navigate their belief in their leader. This fervent love they share drives them eventually into a collective state of hysteria and madness.Gray Show (Friday night and Saturday matinee)Cherished Echoes, by Sidney HopkinsThis piece displays how there are lessons to be learned, growth to be shared, and beauty to be found in the mess of breaking.
