The AFROFUTURISM Series

The AFROFUTURISM Series Rachel Neville

“Join us November 4-7 for the first Renegade Performance Group Brooklyn season

of the AFROFUTURISM Series, a dynamic performance project that investigates the

presence of Blackness into and beyond 21st Century techno-culture, art and society

through contemporary dance in a digital landscape! AFROFUTURISM as a movement

expresses new and progressive narratives, ideologies and symbols representative of

Black culture from a global Diasporan perspective. With dance and new media

innovation, Renegade Performance Group is poised to lead a critique of the evolving

identity and present-day circumstances of people of color using dance and performance

art as the framework for the next phase of the AFROFUTURISM movement.

Take a journey with us as we explore, challenge, reexamine and reimagine Black

cultural themes and contexts in two unique full-length programs: The Inscription Project

& a world premiere - Untitled Distances (Neon Cross, Digital Middle Passage, and

Hidden Tracks). Be inspired through this activation of identity and living art!
