“RISE”, is inspired by the words of civil rights leader and pioneer, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s final speech, “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop,” which was delivered at the Mason Temple in Memphis, Tenn. on April 3, 1968. As we commemorate more than 56 years since Dr. King’s passing, this thought-provoking ballet is both a reflection of what we have overcome and envisions where we go from here. Students enrolled in MCC’s dance program, led by Art in Motion, will also perform in “RISE” alongside the professional touring company. $25/$20 students and seniors/$15 MCC district residents.
