Throwback to the Future: Dance Artists in Dialogue
February 7 @ 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM PST
The “Throwback to the Future” panel explores the Sankofa Process by invoking memory to understand the present and future possibilities of Black dance makers in the Bay Area. “Sankofa,” in the Ghanaian Twi language, means to “Go Back and Get It,” or the path to self-knowledge is to understand how the past figures into the present and an empowered future. Two generations of Black Choreographers dialogue about how the issues during the Black Choreographers Moving Toward the 21st Century (BCM) a national dance initiative (1989-1995) have shifted, yet remain the same today, during the 20th anniversary of Black Choreographers Festival: Here & Now (BCF). Join us for a stimulating discussion about what it means to be Black in the Bay Area dance scene Then and Now.
