RISE
RISE is a performing arts event celebrating International Women’s Day that will take place at Eagle Eye Theatre in Squamish on March 10th & 11th 2023. Through live music, dance, and multi-media projections, RISE will take the audience on a journey across various styles and genres celebrating many legendary female artists that helped pave the way for future generations on the path toward gender equality. The Sea to Sky Dance Collective, Sea to Sky Singers, local musical performer Liesl Petersen and youth dancers from our community will be highlighting groundbreaking female artists who contributed to social change and the women's movement. These artists include Aretha Franklin, Nina Simone, Dolly Parton, Shania Twain and Beyoncé. Proceeds from RISE will be split between the Howe Sound Women’s Centre and ARCC (the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada).
