Part 1. FUBU Town Hall
\n(Approx. 60 mins)<\/h2>\n

Welcome to the Village:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Although all are welcome this gathering of the Black dance community is designed For Us By US, a space that unabashedly centers Blackness. In the wake of the current Covid-19 crisis, the great loss of life within our community, as well as the uprisings for racial and social justice, as artists we need a space to commune, share our sentiments, concerns, hopes and dreams. The FUBU Town Hall is a space for us to SEE each other, fellowship as a Village and empty our heads and hearts with the incentive of invoking healing.<\/p>\n

Social justice 101 ACTIVATE YOUR ACTIVISM:
\nHow to activate your activism online and in person
\n(Approx. 60 min)<\/h2>\n

In Ballet, dancers are not expected to have a voice, so it can be difficult finding it, and learning when (and most importantly) how to use it when necessary. This session will assist dancers (of various age groups) in discovering and defining their personal activism. We will discuss the meaning of \u201cresistance\u201d as black people in America, how to alleviate emotional and spiritual burden, and how we can establish a supplementary form of activism through validating and supporting each other\u2019s experiences with racism.<\/p>\n

Through this session, we will investigate diverse forms of advocacy and resistance tactics to combat racial injustices:<\/p>\n
