Cerqua Rivera Dance Theatre presents:

Inside/Out with Michelle Manzanales & The Island

Cerqua Rivera Dance Theatre's innovative Inside/Out series returns to Links Hall!

First developed with composer and musician James Sanders in 2022 as part of a collaboration called STORIES FROM THE WEST SIDE, this piece (The Island) explores the real-life Chicago story of a woman’s childhood experience finding refuge on the island in the Humboldt Park lagoon. This year Cerqua Rivera will return to the original composition and add choreography by Michelle Manzanales, Director of Ballet Hispánico’s School of Dance.

Meet Michelle and get inside this thrilling new work from Cerqua Rivera!

Work in progress will be performed and discussed by members of the company. Music by James Sanders and choreography by Michelle Manzanales.

Tickets $15 - 30.

Inside/Out is Cerqua Rivera's interactive event series that showcases works in progress and invites you INSIDE the creative process. Each event includes performance of new work-in-the-making, conversation with the artists, audience participation activities, and the opportunity for you to shape the new work with your feedback and input.
