Exciting News!
We are thrilled to announce that Sarah Harrison is returning to the stage as Clara in this year’s Clara’s Trip!✨ Sarah first brought Clara to life in 2022 and we can’t wait to see her shine again.
With a BFA in Dance Performance from Towson University and a passion for aerial dance sparked by Jayne Bernasconi’s low-flying trapeze class, Sarah has had an incredible journey in both dance and circus. Since 2016, she has been an integral part of our company as a performer and teacher. Sarah has worked with amazing companies like DEVIATED THEATER, Baltimore Aerial Dance, and most recently toured with The Mysterious Circus.
Get ready for a magical performance as Sarah brings her energy, grace, and passion back to Clara’s Trip! 💫🎄
Show dates in Raleigh and Charlotte.

Caroline is in her finale stages of selecting the performers for this season. Stay tuned for the announcement in early September.

Rouge is more than a cabaret. We push so many boundaries in our artistry. For example, Taylor’s solo this year was about taking control of your life but do you really have control or is it fate? Taylor’s physicality and incredible performance skills brought this idea to life and touched so many audience members.
@taylorrailton you’re a gem! Thank you!
Season artist applications due July 19.
We are also looking for a General Manager.

Twice we have received significant funding from the @knightfdn in 2018 for ‘Perspective’ and 2017 for this work ‘Crossroads’. There was an incredible grant officer there who loved dance and supported these projects that were free to the public. Sadly she is no longer there. And we haven’t been able to make art like this since due to lack of funding sources.
Charlotte’s city and county just approved $21 million towards the arts for the coming budget. This is a huge step and we hope with all our heart that we can create some more works like this that are multi-disciplinary and multi-generational and free to the public.
Thank you @knightfdn for your past support and hope we can partner again.
Thank you to all the artists who made this show so memorable for so many.

They are near our studio on Monroe Road with a great tasting room and outdoor space.
Rouge artists Rachael, Kim and Caroline along with Caroline’s husband, Len, had a challenging yet fun time tasting bourbon to select the barrel for you to enjoy.
We selected a bourbon that was slightly sweet and buttery with a little spice that reminded us of Mexican hot chocolate.
We enjoyed it straight up and on the rocks.
