In continued commitment of BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities, Dance Place celebrates Black Futures and Living Month by partnering with the BlackLight Summit. BlackLight seeks to be a spark to ignite daring innovation and to reveal the creativity in the dance ecosystem. Working in collaboration Dance Place and BlackLight, has curated an ecstatic evening of queer BIPOC performance.

Dancing en lo sucio: Conditions of Undress is a captivating evening-length presentation by Washington D.C. artists Gabriel Mata and Amelia Rose Estrada. Featuring three compelling works that intertwine themes of gender, race/Latinidad, queerness, and critical performance, this event delves into the realm of queer Latinx dreaming and world-building through powerful movement explorations. This work is a part of Dance Place’s Co-Presentation Series.
