Chicago’s award-winning dance and production company, Praize Productions, Inc. (PPI), will debut its world premiere production, Complexions. This multidisciplinary performance explores the vital need for rest and pause as Black women unlearn the harmful association of their worth with their work and embrace their inherent power and beauty. Complexions is an immersive experience that engages the senses, speaking truth and emotional freedom to the soul. It fosters an open conversation among the Divine, ourselves, and the world, underscoring the importance of intentional rest for achieving sacred peace within our complex vessels.
Complexions features the talented dancers of Praize Productions, Inc., under the highly acclaimed artistic direction of Enneréssa LaNette Davis, executive artistic director and resident choreographer. Davis’s leadership ensures Praize Productions delivers professional arts-based programming and events that amplify Black artists’ and communities’ voices and narratives through professional platforms while fostering strong community connections. The production will also feature renowned guest choreographers Dominique Hamilton, Kevin Iega Jeff, and Monique Haley.
Audiences will experience PPI’s signature blend of dance, theater, and spoken word, creating a powerful and moving experience. This immersive performance includes award-winning musicians Junius Paul and Isaiah Collier alongside talented Chicagoland singers, musicians, and spoken word artists.
The performance showcases the RIZE Pro-Elite Company, PPI’s professional dance company of women of color, and the RIZE Youth Company, a pre-professional ensemble for dancers aged 5 to 17, a key component of PPI’s Performing Arts Academy.
