You are invited to join us for the   2024 Black Theatre and Dance Symposium on Saturday, May 4.

 

This year's theme is "ROOT WORK: Embracing and Honoring Unconventional Pathways to Performance," celebrating the rich roots and tapestry of Black storytelling and performance, with dynamic speakers, conversations, and workshops. 

The Keynote Speaker will be Baltimore Center Stage's New Artistic Director, Tony Award nominated, and Obie Award-winner director Stevie Walker-Webb.

 

Emphasizing the importance of artist-leaders, this symposium fosters dialogue and action among professionals, scholars and students who convene to discuss, devise and actualize efforts to influence and expand inclusive practices, civility and social well-being in the performing arts and beyond.

 

The symposium coincides with the second night of UMoves: Undergraduate Dance Concert on Saturday, May 4, at 7 pm. You are encouraged to join us for this celebratory event.

"This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal."
