Cerqua Rivera Dance Theatre premieres three new works: Immense World by Shannon Alvis, Trouble in Mind by Monique Haley, and Bridge Over Troubled Water by CRDT Co-Founder and Artistic Director Wilfredo Rivera with arrangements and original music by CRDT Co-Founder Joe Cerqua and the remount of Shannon Alvis’ A Place Between Earth & Sky (2018) with original music by Clarice Assad. 

“One of the enduring and whimsical and uplifting qualities of the company is the fusion of dance and live music—the integration is vital. For the audience perspective, live music transforms the room – that rumbling underneath your feet because of the percussion or the voices of the vocalist simmering in the air – it bathes your auditory system. It affects you from the inside out.” – Wilfredo Rivera 

Tickets: General Admission ($30); Non-Columbia Student Ticket ($10); Free to Columbia College Chicago students.
