Join us for an evening of work by internationally acclaimed Black women performers and choreographers presented in collaboration with Ohio State’s Dance Notation Bureau Extension Center. 

Ohio State’s Ohio State’s Dance Notation Bureau Extension Center has led a multiyear project that aims to establish a vision for how the work of Black women performers and choreographers can inform future generations about identity and race. The culminating performance of these efforts will explore the work of six Black women artists and their commitment to the performance of Black lives through Black bodies.
