As transcenDANCE looks back at our beginnings, we connect to the tree imagery of our roots, our strong foundation, and the dreams that have manifested from our collective work. Our creative community nourishes us, allows us a space for healing, and supports us in our flourishing. Almost 20 years ago, transcenDANCE was co-founded by 12 teens and 2 adults who sat under a tree at Hoover High School. Rooted in our strong bonds and love of dance, we dreamed of what transcenDANCE could be for ourselves, each other, and our community. As we reflect on this origin story, we have invited our current CREATE students to explore what grounds them, what nourishes them, and what dreams they want to bring to life. Rooted & Dreaming brings together dance, poetry and art co-created by CREATE students and professional artists that will inspire audiences and celebrate creative expression by young artists of San Diego.

News flash! The near future! New developments in artificial intelligence have gone… not as planned. And now the robots are taking over—unless plucky teen hacker, Jolie Daniels, screen-name Ha.G., and the bot she made from spare parts from her parent’s garage, can stop the armies of sentient appliances she accidentally loosed on the world. From Puppeteers for Fears, the company that brought you "Cthulhu: the Musical!," and "The Cabaret at the End of the World," comes a hilarious cyberpunk fever-dream: "ROBOPOCALYPSE: The Musical!" Featuring thirteen new songs, an analog synthesizer driven score, an all-puppet cast, more multimedia elements than you can shake a stick at, and a wickedly stylish 1980s visual aesthetic, "ROBOPOCALYPSE: The Musical!" is Puppeteers for Fears’ most ambitious show ever, and is sure to dazzle and astonish. Written and composed by Josh Gross. Directed by Hunter Prutch. Starring Alyssa Mathews, Forest Gilpin, Owen Webb, Rachel Routh, Alex Giorgi, Brianca Knight, and featuring special musical guest, Blunderbusst. Puppeteers for Fears is an Oregon-based comedy troupe, specializing in original horror and science fiction rock’n’roll musicals performed with puppets. The company was founded as a one-night-only cabaret show for Halloween 2015, but was so popular that it kept going and never looked back. In the time since, PFF has written and performed a half-dozen original feature musicals covering everything from supernatural monsters to killer robots to lonely sasquatches, performed all over the US on six tours, and sold out venues nationwide with its innovative and hilarious combination of puppetry, video, and live music.

Two Another are Eliot Porter and Angus Campbell, a musical duo originating from Sydney, Australia. Their kaleidoscopic mix of Electronic, Alternate RnB, Indie Pop and Soul has been heard across the globe since joining forces in 2015, amassing a following of over 1.8 million monthly listeners and over 400 million streams to date, with tour dates spanning across Europe, the Americas, the UK and back home in Australia. Now based in Europe, the band’s global origin story lies under the Australian sun with Eliot and Angus meeting in their high school music program where they were taught audio production by hometown dance-music-icons Bag Raiders. The pair quickly bonded over a mutual love of D’Angelo, Daft Punk and Danger Mouse. “Growing up in that golden era of indie, Ed Banger and French Touch, we shared a love of 90s electronica, dance and hip hop, and our parent’s Motown records,” says Angus, “There was a lot to be inspired by.” The duo’s recordings have since gone on to achieve significant success, accumulating hundreds of millions of streams of their EPs "Another Tape" and "Two Sides," followed by their debut album "Back To Us." Their versatility is evident in their remixes and collaborations with artists like Young Franco, Portugal The Man, The Magician, and Claptone. On stage Two Another creates an undeniable connection with any audience they are put in front of. The live band elevates the catalog, taking their grooves, musicality and vocal-driven anthems to another level. Outside of headline tours of their own the pair have made their way onto stages around the world while supporting the likes of Rufus Du Sol, Flight Facilities, SG Lewis, Daniel Caeser, Cannons, and Roosevelt. 2024 is set to be the biggest year yet for the pair. They will release their second full length album, ‘SUBURBIA’ in the Fall alongside their first ever World Tour. The new album is a coming-of-age story that follows fictional characters through their challenges and triumphs of navigating the final four years of high school in the suburbs. This musical odyssey unfolds through four distinct EPs — "FRESHMAN," "SOPHOMORE," "JUNIOR," "SENIOR" — and culminates in the collected works released at the "SUBURBIA LP." Time: Saturday, Aug. 16 9 p.m. (Doors 8 p.m.) Two Another on Facebook / Instagram

"In mending and making, we mend ourselves" —Deena Beverly In this hand stitching gathering we will honor a memory, ourselves, someone or something else. As we reflect on our subject we may find clarity, understanding and peace of mind. The time provides space to see with fresh eyes of why this came to pass. We will then express our discovery through color, texture and composition, in a figurative or abstract style with thread, appliqué, color and pattern. Come stitch with us. Nothing is like stitching in community with others. It’s fun, healing and grounding. Nancy will teach you the techniques and walk you through the step-by-step process to assist you with creating your work of art! Nancy’s approach is all about self-expression Please feel free to bring any fabrics or swatch of clothing that you like or has a special meaning that you would like to include in your project.
