ABOUT BEYOND THE BLACK BOX
Beyond the Black Box (BBB) is an arts and cultural organization that amplifies black voices by building connections and educating people through experiences. We are a group of black dancers dedicated to celebrating, honoring, and healing the black dance community. We felt a lack of support and representation in the dance world when we were young, which motivated us to deliberately build the spaces our younger selves would thrive in. We encourage artists who uphold and advance the social and political principles of inclusiveness, fairness, and visibility. BBB celebrates and shares the accomplishments of our community by producing creative multidisciplinary works, such as live dance productions, community work, mentorship, and education that incorporate popular culture and are laced with enthusiasm.
