Unfolding at the break of dawn, RISE is a breathtaking world-premiere from Australian Dance Theatre.
As the first light spreads across Country, dancers move through the landscape in a powerful collective choreography, transforming the quiet hours of morning into a shared ritual of movement, reflection and renewal.
Created by Daniel Riley and Brianna Kell, RISE invites audiences to pause, breathe and reconnect with the rhythms of the natural world. Join us in welcoming a new day through a ceremony of bodies, land and light.
