Black Light
BlackLight ignites daring innovation that reveals the creativity and necessity of the DMV dance ecosystem.
Through a suite of year-round iterative and community-imagined programming, we center Black, Indigenous, Artists of Color, and LGBTQIA++ folx. We engage in experimental performance, interdisciplinary scholarship, a robust mentorship program for students and emerging artists.
BlackLight is taking the leap into risking wrong, risking right, risking being loved and seen..
We believe in models of shared leadership and community caretaking, workshops, creative residencies, creative writing, and other high-touch activations that bring students, professionals, and community stakeholders together.
