ANGIE PITTMAN- Black Life Chord Changes (an excerpt) uses dance, text, and sound to create an experimental improvised movement portal. Blackly so. The choreography pulls from folk traditions of liturgical dancing, Soul line dancing, Umfundalai, and post-modern improvisation. Through these visceral Black womanist traditions, the work slips in and out of deep listening, seeing, improvisation, and truth telling.

ORLANDO HERNÁNDEZ - Too soon to discover planets, too late to discover islands uses technologies of tap dance and mask-work to tell the story of two people who arrive in a new land, only to be killed in a terrible storm…

CHANEL STONE and CEMIYON BARBER - RIPPIN N RUNNIN is an abstracted, playfully curated work led by Beyond the Black Box, an organization focused on honoring the Black dance community. With multi-generational movement references and songs from both past and present, this work aims to dissolve the line of Black class division in dance culture through storytelling that recalls the full range of the Black dance experience.

OWEN PRUM - Absolute force - A dance between 3, a work at the nexus of body, city and history. How can a human be crushed under the weight of time and blood? Winter turned spring, red chalked blue. We are all muscle and the right now!

Accessibility: Our accessible entrance is by way of 243 Thompson St. Use the lift to get to the Meeting Room on Level 3 or our accessible bathrooms on Level B (basement). Return to Level 1 for street access back to the corner of West 4th & Thompson St.
