☀️Artist Feature☀️ •Title: Sweetheart •Choreographer: Caitlin Rose in collaboration with Nicole Olson & Wendy Ellis ( @crosemvmt ) •Group Name: Caitlin Rose + Company •Photographer: Ed Flores "Sweetheart is a reclamation of rage. An invitation to witness what happens when women speak for themselves, on their own terms. Sweetheart stands as a defiant tribute to the unapologetically angry woman.

☀️Artist Feature☀️ •Title: nothingsmatter •Choreographer: Ellen Sickenberger ( @esickenberger )in collaboration with Jenny Milani @jennymilani •Group Name: DEPTH ( @depthdance ) •Photographer: @lightsviewphoto "Have you ever experienced a black hole? ...What about a white hole? (Yup, those are real.) Join Ellen Sickenberger and Jenny Milani in a whirlwind of time bending, time loss, and relationship drama; connected through quantum gravity whether expelling matter or absorbing it into nothingness. The rules of human relationships and of the universe are the same: Nothings matter. DEPTH is a project-based contemporary dance company currently based in Arizona. Founded in NYC in 2017 by Artistic Director Ellen Sickenberger, DEPTH has presented work in venues including the Alvin Ailey Citigroup Theater (NYC), Manhattan Movement & Arts Center (NYC), Dixon Place (NYC), Peridance Salvatore Capezio Theater (NYC), The Huntington Theater (Boston), Southwest Arts Center (Atlanta), Dock11 (Berlin), Suzanne Dellal (Tel Aviv), The Herberger Theatre Center (AZ), Phoenix Center for the Arts (AZ) and more. DEPTH has collaborated on two dance films, one of which has been awarded Audience Favorite at three different festivals throughout the U.S. The company has been commissioned for numerous split bill shows and residencies across the country. Ellen's work has been described as ""hauntingly beautiful"" and ""captivatingly chilling"" [BWW Reviews] with ""stunning and economical"" partnering [The Dance Enthusiast]. With an emphasis on humanism, DEPTH uses athletic, theatrical, and anthropomorphic movement to create a social commentary. The work promotes togetherness and radical acceptance via display of our collective imperfections.

☀️Artist Feature☀️ •Title: Divine Objects •Choreographer: Dana Metz @danermetz •Group Name: Royal Dance Works @royaldanceaz "Divine Objects highlights the feeling of encountering something grand or almost sacred. Beginning in a state of curiosity; the dancers attempt to explore something larger than themselves. As the piece continues, its movements become more expansive and expressive; the curiosity shifts into immersion, and the dancers are slowly overcome by this presence. The inspiration behind this piece comes from moments in life when something feels bigger than we as humans can fully comprehend. This piece is performed by Royal Dance Works Sr company. Dancers range from 15-18 years old and includes 8 graduating Srs. These dancers train in ballet, contemporary, jazz and hip hop and have worked with several guest choreographers. These dancers compete at local dance competitions and have had the opportunity to perform at the Orpheum Theater. Divine Objects is choreographed by Dana Metz, several of these dancers have trained with Dana for 8+ years in contemporary" ☀️Join us!☀️ Two nights ONLY at @tempecenterforthearts 🗓️May 29-30, 2026 ⏰7:30 PM 📍Tempe Center for the Arts 700 W Rio Salado Pkwy Tempe, AZ 🎟️Grab tickets at the link in bio or: bit.ly/thirdspacedancefest26 🎨Digital designer @august.aro.kinard #DanceFestival #SupportLocalArtists #Thirdspaceprojects #Azdance #Dancecommunity

☀️Artist Feature☀️ •Title: "Mama, You're a Princess!" •Choreographer: @rosymack.artist in collaboration with Calvin, Wesley, and Alex Mack •Group Name: Rosy Mack •Photographer: @creatorchristian """Mama, you're a princess."" is an intimate exploration of motherhood and artistry, where a stage scattered with children's toys becomes both playground and performance space. Drawn from improvisations captured in everyday moments at home that are often interrupted and reshaped by the presence of my children, the movement reflects a life where art and motherhood are inseparable. Accompanied by an original soundscape composed from the sounds of daily life, the work moves beyond the pursuit of ""balance"" in motherhood, embracing instead a state of integration, where performance and creativity hide within the mundane moments of everyday life. As a native of Arizona, Rosy Mack is passionate about strengthening the vibrancy of art in her home state. For the last 18 years, she has been an active member of the dance community as both a performer, choreographer, and instructor. Rosy has performed professionally with many dance companies in the Phoenix area including Center Dance Ensemble, Dias Dance Life, Elevate DanceWorks, and The Parking Lot Project. For 10 years, Rosy served as the founder and artistic director of Ignite Collaborative (2011-2021), a 501(c)3 dance performance company with the mission to build a more connected and compassionate community through movement. Currently, Rosy works with Scottsdale Arts as an artist-in-residence bringing dance to the classrooms of elementary-aged children through the Wolftrap Teaching Artists program and smART Learning. Rosy also leads the Cultural Connections Diversity Class at Scottsdale Arts, linking high school and college students with professional touring dance companies. When not dancing, Rosy spends her time reading everything from chick-lit to the Bible, working with clay on her pottery wheel, tending her backyard garden, indulging in self-care at the spa, and spending quality time with her husband, her two sons, and dog.  " ☀️Join us!☀️ Two nights ONLY at @tempecenterforthearts 🗓️May 29-30, 2026 ⏰7:30 PM
