Long recognized for their groundbreaking collaborations and deeply compelling non fiction dances, BBDT seeks to bring modern dance back to the people. In the theatre, a black box is a space where neither the performers nor audiences are held to constraints, a place where people notice things that typically would go unnoticed.
In engineering, a black box is an abstract concept of creating, a tool for making where the inner workings are a mystery, yet the outcomes are a direct response to the input.
For us, Black Box is a place where artists can bring their talent, interest, and curiosity about the world; a place where audiences, participants, and performers connect; a place where meaningful human interactions lead to the creation of transformative art.
Words from those we've danced with:
“I was moved to tears, reflecting on the strength, resilience, and honor the cast brought to the performance. You have created something truly unique and special. I appreciate how you live and work with an open heart.” - Kevin Rumley, Vet. Purple Heart, LCSW, LCAS, CCS
“Something I liked about the workshop was how welcoming the Black Box people were and how it helped me learn more responsibility, how to express myself, and to show up for my classmates.” - Chatham County 5th grade student
"I've been slowly getting back into my body after multiple years of personal issues, and I started to feel a bit more like me again when I attended. The energy is always so positive, it's a true community full of welcome, acceptance, love, and PURE JOY in dancing." BBDT winter intensive participant
"there's a stereotype that conservative people support the troops and liberals don't. I loved that you recognized the veterans and that the audience (maybe largely liberal) stood and applauded and cheered. It felt like you all bridged an unnecessary divide.
I could go on and on, but I will close by saying I have thought about various
dances just about every day since the concert. I was particularly moved by Letter to My Enemy, Mr Moore's eloquence, his vulnerability, and the unexpected hope he shared at the end." - Sarah Winslow, PLLC
