2018 Black Theatre & Dance Symposium

The 2018 Black Theatre & Dance Symposium will be a fresh experience, with new topics, dynamic speakers and exciting workshops. We will champion women’s voices with two dynamic keynote speakers, thereby underscoring our call for more gender and race parity, inclusion and diversity. Speared by these female voices, in this climate of #MeToo and #TimesUp, we will explore the unique power of theatre, dance, and performance studies to highlight issues of equity and social justice in today’s cultural and political environment.

Second Season

The second-year MFA in Dance cohort explores spacial and human relationships in this inclusive and interactive work. Created in collaboration between four diverse performance artists, the piece exemplifies first-hand the power of compromise, connection, and challenge, ultimately bringing the audience and performers together for a shared experience.

Benefit for Music for Food: Omer Quartet

Music for Food is a musician-led initiative that started in Boston and has since spread across the US.  Its goal is to create awareness about hunger insecurity in America and to partner with audiences to raise money through donation-based concerts. The artists who perform receive no fee and the concert tickets are free with a kind request for any donation, 100% of which is then donated to a local food pantry or food bank.
