Harvesting Hope

Harvesting Hope

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 annual production asks these important questions through original contemporary and hip-hop dance pieces, interwoven with performance poetry and visual art, presented by the young artists of transcenDANCE.

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 make and sustain change. Through Harvesting Hope, they share their inspiration, creativity, and ideas for collective action. On the stage and beyond it, they use their voices, skills, and tools as artists and youth leaders to make positive and meaningful differences in their communities.

Please join us for the culmination of our CREATE 2026 program and witness the power and talents of transcenDANCE students!
