Choreographer Jeremy McQueen’s ballet collective, The Black Iris Project, has been using movement to celebrate black artists since 2016. At SummerStage, the performance will include MADIBA, a ballet inspired by the life of the late Nelson Mandela, whose 100th birthday is being commemorated this year.

651 ARTS presents two dynamic works-in-progress and opportunities to engage with artists directly in one event: first, multi-disciplinary artist Edisa Weeks' THREE RITES: Liberty, followed by a work-in-progress sample screening of documentary filmmaker Marta Effinger-Crichlow’s LITTLE SALLIE WALKER.

AntonioBrownDance’s BOXED explores the space in adolescence where we go from being a child to youth to adult by using childhood games as adulthood navigations of life.
