Blackbox Theatre, Kleist Center for Art & Drama

Program One 4/23: Danceworks-in-Progress
New danceworks created by BW students, with guest adjudicator, Megan Young

Program Two 4/24: 10K Movement presents The Mixtape
The Mixtape celebrates 50 years of Hip Hop & the ecosystem of Street Dance. Featuring diverse genres, freestyle & choreography, The Mixtape takes the audience on a ride through the different eras of the Hip Hop & Street Dance timeline, while also looking to the future. Each stop on the journey provides a firsthand view into a different era of music and corresponding American folk-dance styles (Popping, House, Hip Hop, Breaking, Litefeet, and Krump), each with its own rituals, stories, unique language, and subculture.

This evening-length work features original choreography by the 10K Movement Elite Performance Team. This concert will also include music composed by some of the culture’s internationally renowned and underground producers.

Program Three 4/25: IN THE MOMENT
Interpretations on a common theme, danceworks created by BW faculty, alums and guests to music written and performed by BW Music Theatre Major, Ryan Sweeney
