COLLIDE Series 25 | Featuring Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring," Martha Graham-Inspired Dance, and More!

COLLIDE Series 25
August 1–3, 2025
St. Cecilia Music Center | Grand Rapids, MI

Deos Ballet invites you to COLLIDE — our biggest production of the year and a high-voltage kickoff to the 2025–2026 season!

✨ Be swept away by Tess Sinke’s original production of "Rite of Spring," an electrifying blend of primal storytelling, raw athleticism, and haunting tradition, performed alongside a live recording of the Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra.

💃 Experience "Lamentation Variations," a bold reimagining of Martha Graham’s iconic work through the vision of three powerful choreographers: Tess Sinke, Amy Wilson, and Christine Settembrino.

😂 Get ready to laugh with "The Printer," back by popular demand after its unforgettable 2022 debut!

💥 And that’s just the beginning… Featuring world premieres, special guest artists from across the nation, and the return of crowd favorites, this is a weekend of dance that defies expectations and celebrates the boundary-breaking spirit of Deos Ballet. It also just happens to be our biggest performance of the whole year!

🎟 Don’t miss your chance to witness COLLIDE — where artistry and adrenaline meet.
