- **Event Description**: Welcome to RISE 2025.

This year, Dance North’s annual festival of contemporary dance and performance brings to Findhorn another unique programme which celebrates the connections between us.
 
For RISE 2025 we have brought together an extraordinary line up of international artists and performers to explore how we live, dream and move in extraordinary times.
 
Storytelling is at the heart of this year’s festival, inviting us to share in the personal experiences and journeys of our programmed artists through performance, participation and conversation.
 
With live dance performances, workshops, artist talks and an immersive installation, it’s a programme tailormade to challenge, provoke and inspire.

This year we’re offering a three day full Festival pass for £85. Your full pass gives you access to most shows and parties, with a couple of exceptions, clearly marked.

Tickets for individual performances will be released very soon. Individual performances will cost £15 and tickets to workshops £10-12.
 
Be still, sit back and listen; celebrate, debate and relate; dance and feel alive at RISE 2025.
