This intimate event where music, dance, and storytelling collide, features NYC-based, Billboard-charting, alt-pop artist and multi-instrumentalist Rachael Sage and world renowned, Grammy® Award winning cellist Dave Eggar.
Blurring the lines between coffee house concert and theatrical dance performance, Sessions is not to be missed. Audiences will be transformed through the physicality and soulfulness of both dancers and musicians. Culled from Sage's catalog of more than 20 albums and EPs, this rare, one night only show will feature songs from her acclaimed 2024 record, Another Side, as well as a smattering of songs from her forthcoming album, Canopy. Sage and Eggar provide the live music, weaving a poignant story from which dancers emerge.
After being diagnosed with endometrial cancer in 2018, Sage’s life changed in an instant. Tour dates were replaced by chemo treatments, her album was released to an “audience” of doctors and nurses, and this life-altering diagnosis ignited unexpected reflection and creativity. A self-described "cancer thriver," she is a philanthropic advocate who has raised money for a wide range of causes, including Foundation For Women's Cancer, WHY Hunger, American Refugee Committee, and National Network For Youth (NN4Y).
Championing women musicians and their health, Women Who Rock® is proud to partner with Attack Theatre for this special event. Melinda Colaizzi, Founder of Women Who Rock®, works to celebrate female artists while fundraising for Magee-Womens Research Institute 501(c)(3) – the world’s largest research institute dedicated to women’s health – to support cancer screenings and early detection, treatments, research, and more.
Sessions is directed by Peter Kope and features Attack Theatre company dancers Anya Epstein, Isabella Bergamin, Melissa Burke, Miranda Braseth, and Olivia Nellis.
