A NOTE FROM THE CURATORS:
Hey Family!
The BBB Week is back!
We’re BACK, we’re BLACK, and we’re more excited than ever to celebrate Year Four of The BLACK BLACK BLACK Week, a three-day gathering of dancers, choreographers, and multidisciplinary artists presented at our home-away-from-home, Triskelion Arts.
This year’s theme is FAMILY REUNION, and we mean that in every way. Based on the success of last year’s event, we learned the importance of gathering as a community. Whether you're pulling up with your favorite cousin, a cherished elder, or just coming as your full, beautiful self—you belong in this space.
We’re honoring the trailblazers who paved the way, reflecting on their legacy, and building joy together as a community. Sometimes, it’s as simple and powerful as sharing space or being handed a piece of cornbread by your cousin.
We’re bringing it back– bigger, Blacker, and more connected than ever.
We can’t wait to share what’s in store.

BEYOND THE BLACK BOX
Beyond the Black Box (BBB) is an arts and cultural organization dedicated to amplifying Black voices, fostering connections, and educating through immersive experiences. Our mission is to celebrate, honor, and uplift the Black dance community by creating supportive spaces for artists to thrive. Motivated by a desire to address the lack of representation and support we encountered in our own journeys, we are committed to promoting inclusiveness, fairness, and visibility in the dance world.
BBB achieves its mission by producing dynamic multidisciplinary works, including live dance productions, community engagement initiatives, mentorship programs, and educational opportunities. Our approach seamlessly weaves together elements of popular culture with boundless enthusiasm, showcasing the remarkable accomplishments of our community.
With your support, BBB will continue to empower Black dancers and artists who champion social and political principles of inclusivity, fairness, and visibility, ultimately enriching the cultural tapestry of our community. Together, we will create a brighter future where Black voices are celebrated and heard through the transformative power of the arts.
