    Rising Tide features original works by five Spokane-based choreographers and 33 local dancers, highlighting the depth of professional dance talent in the region. The choreographic voices: Phaedra Jarrett, Sarah Glesk, Emily Grizzell, Monica Mota, and CarliAnn Forthun Bruner, each offer a unique artistic perspective while contributing to a cohesive, immersive evening of movement.
