What Happens to Brown Girls...

What Happens to Brown Girls Who Never Learn How to Love Themselves Brown? is a live- ritual performance that explores a Dominican-American femme’s journey to self love through her relationship with her mother and their hair. By breaking the generational curse of relaxing one’s hair, is it possible to forgive the women before you for what they didn’t know?

Work-in-Progress Sharing with BAX at DanceWave (182 4th Avenue Brooklyn, NY 11217) Saturday, 11/13, at 3pm

Free to attend. RSVP in advance here.

Theatre as Tactic: Blk Libs for Stückemarkt

As part of Theatretreffen’s Stückemarkt, participants are invited to engage in a productive exchange with Ta-Nia to gain insight into our mode of artistic work and thought.

Mundane Afrofuturist theory asserts that Blk people already have the tools to imagine and create possible futures to live in. We (Ta-Nia) believe theatre is the ideal environment to practice those tools because it’s a space of actualisation on and off stage. In this workshop, you will get to explore a mode of devised theatre (“Blk Libs”) that we often use to facilitate actualisation of near-futures together.
