THE “BLACK BLACK BLACK” WEEK
September 17th -19th
THE “BLACK BLACK BLACK” WEEK
BBB is proud to announce the return of The “Black Black Black” Week: a three day gathering of dancers, choreographers, and multidisciplinary artists! This event series marks 3 years of Beyond the Black Box. Over 3,600 people have been a part of our community thus far. If you’re new here, welcome!
This year’s curation comes straight from the source: a Black Dancer’s Imagination. BBB consistently cultivates cultural spaces meant to celebrate the resilience of our Black dance community. Doors open at 6pm for you to experience: our signature community mural, active photo booth, curated cocktails, soulfood, breathwork, and meditation will all be a part of your experience on September 17- 9th, 2024. With a handpicked curation by the BBB team you are guaranteed to have a Black A** night.
At 7:30 we commence our performances with a guided breathwork ceremony led with an African Drummer.
THE PERFORMANCES
SEPTEMBER 17 - Kashia Kancey & Chalvar Monteiro
SEPTEMBER 18 - JOYBOY & Black Lazarus
SEPTEMBER 19 - Claude Johnson & Damontae Hack
The BBB Team will close out every evening with an original work.
This year's theme is FAMILY REUNION!
We are celebrating the deep connections and shared history within the Black community. This year's event invites everyone to experience the warmth and unity of a family gathering, whether you're coming with your favorite cousin, an elder, or by yourself.
In this space, everyone is treated as family, reinforcing the idea that BBB is a community bound by love, respect, and a shared commitment to growth and well-being. Whether through dance, music, or conversation, this reunion is a chance to come together, celebrate our heritage, and look forward to a future where we continue to uplift and support one another.
Thank you for showing up.
BBB is a grassroots organization that relies on the support of the community– we are dedicated to creating safe, intentional, celebratory and healing spaces for our people to connect on this shared Black experience.
