The evening will offer a reflection by Black male artists in the field of dance, looking back at what has been, celebrating the present, and imagining what lies ahead. This conversation will serve as a moment to acknowledge the complexity, intersectionality, and beauty of the diversity among us, while also recognizing the shared values and commonalities that unite us.
