Still. Here. Now.

Friday & Saturday, September 25-26, 2026 at 8:00pm

Boyd Vance Theater at the George Washington Carver Cultural Center
1165 Angelina St, Austin, TX

We are proud to present the premiere of Still. Here. Now. at the George Washington Carver Cultural Center – Boyd Vance Theater. For this highly collaborative project for our 36th Season, AADT’s critically-acclaimed Founding Artistic and Producing Director, Andrea Ariel, brings together diverse multicultural artists to present an exhilarating evening of dance theatre and live music.

The performance brings together a collection of works exploring how identity is continually shaped through community, memory, and the relationships that connect generations. This work continues themes introduced in last season’s Here. Now. and asks questions about the American Dream.

The artistic collaborators featured in the project include Anuradha Naimpally (Austin Dance India), Luis Ordaz Gutiérrez (Proyecto Teatro), and Ciceley Fullylove (Independent dancer, choreographer and singer).
