• Say That Again 2026

    Feb 19-21 & Feb 26-28, 8pm

    Dougherty Arts Center

    "Say That Again" is back! This February, Early Era Collective is reimagining our annual Black History Month tradition through dynamic street and contemporary dance collaborations, live hip hop music, and spoken word. Join us where movement, rhythm, and words come together to tell bold, unapologetic stories of culture, identity, and community.

    Exploring dance forms developed by Black creators, this year we’re diving into styles like Hip Hop, House, West African, and Tap (fun fact: the original street style!). Entertaining, thought-provoking, and fresh, the show will end with our fan favorite all-styles community freestyle - an unforgettable participatory experience.

    Come watch - and dance with us! - at Dougherty Arts Center, this February 19-21 and February 26-28, 2026, at 8:00p.m. Don't miss this unique, transformative production that is as much a celebration as it is a conversation.

    Co-Produced by Stephanie Patrick and Daniel Broxton, this is our third iteration of “Say That Again.” Our project is supported, in part, by the City of Austin Office of Arts, Culture, Music and Entertainment, the Artist Access Program, and East Side Performing Arts.
