“You think you’ve reached the bottom, until you find out the bottom has a basement.”
In this Up Close with Royce Zackery, he touches on the many meanings and feelings within Echoes we Carry. Partly inspired by the novel Before I Forget by Leonard Pitts Jr., Echoes We Carry dives into Alzheimer’s disease and the realities of confronting loss–not only the loss of memory, but the gradual loss of self. Experience the intense emotional work at Flourish: Season Finale--Opening TOMORROW!

“Whoever told you the truth sets you free, didn’t tell you the truth.”
Echoes We Carry, by Royce Zackery, is a deeply human exploration of memory, truth, identity, and the fragile spaces between them. Through three interconnected sections–Black Fog, Numbing Laughter, & Echoes We Carry–the work journeys through the emotional and psychological realities of confronting loss, not only the loss of memory, but the gradual unraveling of self.

Halfway to Harmony, by Jenelle Figgins, is a study in universal polarities, the tensions, contradictions, and coexisting forces that shape every layer of existence.
This excerpt, set to Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come," distills that vision into its most intimate form: a duet between two dancers who serve as the architects of creation itself. Together, they move through the matrices of cause and effect, constructing and deconstructing the systems that define their world. Their partnership is not resolution, it is the work before resolution. The labor of building, of reaching, of standing at the threshold between what is and what could be.

Unmeasured—born from Alvaro Palau’s evening-length Love Language, presented earlier this season as a broader love letter from dancers to their art form—shifts inward, asking what dance becomes when dancers stop counting and start feeling, trusting instinct over precision.
