Austin, TX \u2014 This February, a local nonprofit dance company is using movement to create connection.<\/p>\n
Early Era Collective is returning with Say That Again<\/a>, a Black History Month production that blends street and contemporary dance, live hip hop music, and spoken word. The show runs February 19\u201321 and February 26\u201328, 2026 at 8 p.m. at the Dougherty Arts Center in Austin, TX.<\/p>\n In its third iteration, Say That Again brings together movement, rhythm, and words to tell stories rooted in Black artistry and lived experience. The show centers dance forms developed by Black creators, including Hip Hop, House, West African dance, and Tap (the original street style!), creating an entertaining, fresh, and deeply thought-provoking experience for audiences to share.<\/p>\n \u201cDaniel and I created Say That Again not only because we strive to honor and celebrate Black culture and expression, but because we have a profound need as humans to gather. I love getting out of my house, off of my phone, and into a space where I can witness that we\u2019re more similar than different. In Say That Again, you\u2019ll see brand new dance collaborations, hear original poetry and music rooted in purpose, and feel a sense of shared humanity between performer and viewer as we break down the formality of the fourth wall.\u201d -Stephanie Patrick, Artistic Director of Early Era Collective<\/p>\n Co-produced by Patrick and Daniel Broxton, this year\u2019s Say That Again continues Early Era Collective\u2019s commitment to collaboration and community-centered storytelling. The production ends with our fan-favorite all-styles community freestyle, inviting audience members onstage for an unforgettable finale.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n TICKETS<\/a><\/p>\n
