Beyond the Black Box in partnership with KEIGWIN + COMPANY & Triskelion Arts present The BBB Block Party! on Saturday, May 17, 2025 at 1pm on Banker Street between Calyer Street & Meserole Avenue, Triskelion Arts’ Block, Greenpoint, Brooklyn 11222. The event is free and open to all! https://www.triskelionarts.org/spring-performances-2025/block-party

Rooted in our mission to champion Black artistry, radical imagination, and interdisciplinary performance, Beyond the Black Box (BBB) is transforming the block into a space of celebration, expression, and connection. This festival isn’t just about dance—it’s about making space where space hasn’t existed before. It’s about honoring the power of Black artistry in a neighborhood where our voices, our movement, and our culture are rarely centered.

Black artists have influenced the landscape of dance and performance, yet too often, we are left out of the spaces where art is funded, programmed, and celebrated. That’s why we’re showing up—boldly, joyfully, and unapologetically—to create something transformative. Through dance, music, and performance, we’re carving out room for culture, diversity, and creativity in a place where these voices deserve to shine.

With the support of KEIGWIN + COMPANY and Triskelion Arts, we’re turning the block into a stage, a dance floor, and a gathering space where culture, creativity, and community take center stage. And the best part? It’s completely FREE.
