Inverso’s Intergenerational Dance Festival 
Dance performances, workshops, discussions, and time to connect across ages through movement

Inverso is proud to announce LIFT Festival 2026, a celebration of intergenerational dance comprising workshops, talks, and a performance! Join us on May 17th at The Annex and on June 3rd and 4th at The Roundhouse to connect across ages through movement. 
This event is based on a belief in dance as means to connect beyond words towards a greater depth of understanding across age groups. As our relationships shift over time, this dynamic from parent to child, care-giver to care-receiver, mentor to mentee transforms. The intention of this Festival is to highlight the diversity of our collective lived experience, to inspire a fresh view on aging in society and include representation of older adults as part of our pluralistic community in performance. Ultimately, it is about how we all lift each other up.

June 3rd + 4th: Workshops, talks, and performance at The Roundhouse | RSVP for free events and buy tickets HERE
