Strictly Come Dancing favourite Pasha Kovalev and his long-term dance partner Anya Garnis will host the second annual Rise Up With The Arts on World Theatre Day next month.
With all profits raised to be donated to charities Acting For Others, The Actors Fund and icandance, the streamed trans-Atlantic celebration of the theatre industry will be broadcast on 27 March 2022.
Featuring a mix of performances and interviews, the event will feature exclusive contributions from former Strictly pro-turned musical theatre performer Kevin Clifton with his Burn The Floor show, star singer and Queen frontman Adam Lambert, renowned choreographer and director Arlene Phillips and acclaimed classical singer Carly Paoli. Further contributors will be announced at a later date.
Announcing this year’s event, Kovalev and Garnis said: “Rise Up with the Arts is our online show, born in 2021, when the pandemic meant that theatre-lovers were longing to be entertained again, almost as much as performers were longing to be back on stage! Seeing this, we called upon some famous friends and gave the people what they wanted, whilst proudly helping some wonderful charities in the process.
“This year we’re back for more! Legends of stage and screen will once more come together with exclusive performances for all the family to enjoy this World Theatre Day. We believe there’s no better way to support those in the arts falling on hard times, than by enjoying a night in with the favourite stars they know and love!”.
