LUNA Season Performance 2026: ROOTED

Inspired by the idea that growth begins with understanding our foundations, Rooted weaves together a collection of works reflecting on identity, influence, connection, and the experiences that shape us. Featuring dynamic athleticism, intimate storytelling, and striking visual design, the performance invites audiences into a journey that is both deeply personal and universally relatable. The evening features the world premiere of Levels of Verticality, a new work by award-winning Chicago choreographer Noelle Kayser, alongside original choreography by Artistic Director Emmanuel Williams and performances by both LUNA Dance Company and LUNA Youth Company. As Lancaster's professional contemporary dance company, LUNA is committed to cultivating exceptional dance experiences through high-level artistry, nationally recognized collaborations, and meaningful community engagement.
