On October 4-6 and 25-27, Roxey Ballet presents “The C Word,” a celebration in dance, music, and spoken word of the strength and resilience of breast cancer survivors. The performances, which are in person and virtual, take place at Mill Ballet, 46 North Sugan Road, New Hope, Pa.

Choreographed by Mark Roxey, the multimedia production tells the personal stories of women who have overcome breast cancer. Funded by a grant from New Music USA, it is a tribute to the human spirit. Roxey has collaborated with composers Robert Maggio and Matthew Hardy to bring these stories to life.

The piece was previously performed to sold-out houses in 2017 and 2019. The latest production incorporates fresh stories and partnerships with local organizations, providing workshops and support beyond the stage.

Shows are October 4, 5, 25, and 26 at 7 p.m.; and October 6 and 27 at 2 p.m. Visit roxeyballet.org for tickets.
