Conceived and Directed by CJay Philip

Opening Easter weekend, Rise & Shine is a powerful new work that celebrates the beauty of creation and mankind’s enduring role within it. Through a compelling fusion of chorale and contemporary gospel music, spoken word, and vibrant dance, this production explores biblical history, taking audiences on a journey of how we each fall, rise, and find resilience through the trials of life.

The performance features the dynamic Dance & Bmore Ensemble and a soulful choral collaboration. Choreographers Stephanie Powell, Frances James, and CJay Philip all contribute to this new work which beautifully blends rhythm, voice, and movement, creating a harmonious and immersive experience. Rise & Shine invites viewers to witness the transformative power of faith, unity, and the human spirit.

Join us this Easter weekend for a joy-filled celebration of creation, rebirth, and the strength to rise once more.
