Sacramento/Black Art of Dance 30th Anniversary

Sacramento/Black Art of Dance (S/BAD) celebrates its 30th anniversary through the 2021-2022 season via a variety of offerings.

Sacramento/Black Art of Dance is a modern dance company that carries on the tradition of black concert dance in American culture. The company blends the diverse elements of African and African-American dance characteristics with the principles of modern dance forms to create works that are characterized by movement that is high energy in its form and highly charged with emotional release in its function. S/BAD strives to maintain the integrity of a tradition set in motion by Ms. Katherine Dunham and has a clear and distinctive voice in the black dance tradition all over the world.

The following presentation centers on an anthropological experience that prioritizes the body, in particular, the Black body.
