About this event
[Event Info]
What is the place for non-Black dancers in today’s hip-hop/“urban” dance culture? This year, Prelude NorCal is using our platform to investigate the issue of cultural appropriation of hip-hop dance as a Black cultural art form, and our privilege as non-Black dancers. We are inviting community leaders and academic experts to speak and educate on the history of hip hop, and its commodification and gentrification that we are seeing in dance today.
To become a more informed and inclusive community, we invite all our past Prelude NorCal attendees and wider circles to participate in our 2-day speaker series this fall. If you are interested in learning more about how to enact anti-racism and fight complicity in your dance experience, we implore you to join us and learn more about this critical issue.
