Artistic Director, Michelle Pearson, was commissioned to make a new work that premiered this summer at the American Dance Festival in Durham, NC. The premiere was commissioned by American Dance Festival with support from The Mary Duke Biddle Foundation and the Robert and Mercedes Eichholz Foundation and through generous donations made in memory of long time BBDT supporter, Danny Pearson. This new work will be performed in Boston at The Dance Complex on Nov. 4 and 5. Buy tickets here. It’s about loss, it’s about life, it’s about love. It’s everything words cannot contain.
Black Box was invited to the Buncombe County Courthouse and had the opportunity to introduce their work to the Veteran Treatment Court. Six new Veterans from the treatment court participated in the performance of PATRIOT along with Brothers and Sisters Like These. The entire week, including the performance, was filmed as part of the National documentary, "I Feel Myself to be a Part of Something." This profound experience feels like yet another beginning for this monumental work. The documentary is currently being edited and we look forward to announcing more soon!

Black Box is thrilled to welcome two new dancers, Trinity Parsons (left) and Shadidja Parker (right). They are both beautiful, powerful movers and bring a fresh perspective to the Box.
