Get ready to witness transcenDANCE's annual CREATE production "Harvesting Hope" on July 24 - 25, 2026. How is hope a tool for resilience, transformation, and collective care? How do small ideas and persistent action lead to positive change in our communities? What does it look like to cultivate hope in our own lives? Our 2026 CREATE production asks these questions through original contemporary and hip-hop dance pieces, interwoven with performance poetry and visual art. When transcenDANCE students spoke with local San Diego changemakers early this year, they learned about creative resistance, the many ways they as individuals can engage in changemaking, and what it takes to start and sustain change. Through Harvesting Hope, they share their inspiration, creativity, and ideas for collective action. Show Times: Friday, July 24, 2026 and Saturday, July 25, 2026 Lobby and box office open at 6 p.m. Showtime: 6:30 p.m. Venue Location: Hoover High School Performing Arts Center 4474 El Cajon Blvd. San Diego, CA 92115 Parking Information: Free parking is available in the large parking lots in the front of school campus. The Performing Arts Center is at the front of campus on the Western side (left when facing the campus from El Cajon Boulevard). transcenDANCE on Facebook / Instagram
