Performance Details
The Contemporary Arts Center is pleased to announce its sixth year of the Black Box performance series. This season begins with shouts to the sky that call to assemble, and closes with a sonic collaboration between the audience and artists. This spirit of unification and strength is a thread connecting each performance. Whether addressing the personal or the political, these artists use their bodies, voices, and virtuosity to create live works that speak to our cultural moment, and propose new ways of coming together.
