The Weight of It

What do we carry—and what happens when carrying becomes too much?

Relevations Dance Theatre opens its 2026–27 season with The Weight of It, an immersive evening of contemporary movement exploring burden, resilience, and the ways we learn to move through what remains.

At the center of the evening is The Weight of It Project, a new work by André Williams developed with support from the Central Indiana Community Foundation’s Creative Risk Fund, funded by the Herbert Simon Family Foundation. Through dance, theatrical storytelling, and the debut of Relevations Guard Theatre, the work transforms weight into something physical: held, shared, resisted, and released.

Alongside the project, the evening features additional new works by André Williams, Manny Valdes, and Megan Campbell-Kinley, bringing distinct perspectives to an evening rooted in movement, connection, and the human experience.

The Weight of It invites audiences into an intimate world where movement becomes a language for the things we often carry without words.
