Eb. Brown, Daniel Coleman, Joie Lou Shakur: Nu Mas(k)ulinities: An Interactive Performance Ritual
8-9:30 pm, including post-show processing session between artists and audience 
 
Come move, sing, and breathe with us as we tell our stories of transformation, uncover authentic Black masculinity and become living embodiments undoing toxic masculinity.  Anchored by the artist trio Eb. Brown, Daniel Coleman and Joie Lou Shakur, Nu Mas(k)ulinities weaves story, movement, and videography to explore the roots of patriarchy and its undoing through the Black Masculine experience. This is an interactive performance space that asks you to move out of your comfort zone into new ways of being that can help us all get a little more free! 
(Trigger warning: this piece contains references to sexual violence and harm.) 
 
This event is part of The Commons Festival, hosted by Carolina Performing Arts. 
Tickets are available on Eventbrite only.

The Commons is a new initiative devoted to supporting performing artists and fostering local creative community and discourse in and around the Triangle.
Supported by Carolina Performing Arts, this inaugural program offers a four-week residency, billing in a public festival at CURRENT ArtSpace + Studio, and critical feedback for the three selected locally-based artists whose applications most keenly demonstrate that their intended performance is pressing for this time, place, and community. The selected projects question and break accepted performance conventions, invite audience co-creation, and take bold artistic risks.
Each artist has been assigned an embedded writer to write about the artist’s process throughout the residency and about the final performance. These pieces are available to read on INDY Week’s website in a special section, edited by Ripp and INDY Week’s Arts and Culture Managing Editor Brian Howe.

The Commons Festival will feature performances by the selected artists, as well as additional events, from networking to roundtables on performance criticism/arts writing. Fellowships also include a stipend. We’re grateful to INDY Week, the UNC Communication Department, and UNC Summer School program for being partners in The Commons.
