This October 2-4, experience “Gently, She Wakes,” a journey of reclamation and femininity told through movement. Created by Early Era Collective in collaboration with The SAFE Alliance, this evening-length narrative dance piece unfolds through Contemporary and Heels dance, storytelling, and stage combat.
Through Artistic Director Stephanie Patrick’s vision and choreography, our nine multiform dancers twist, turn, and explode through dynamic movement, touching on pain, hope and even humor. Collaborators Lisa del Rosario, Wyntergrace Williams, and Jeffery Da’Shade Johnson deepen our story with eye-catching, heart-pumping and intricate choreography. Woven with rich costumes and music spanning multiple genres and decades, “Gently, She Wakes” is a visual indulgence that questions today’s gender norms and social dynamics, answered by empowerment, belonging, and the human spirit.
