Rooted and Dreaming

Rooted and Dreaming

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.
