CABD seeks to foster interaction and dialogue among diverse communities in our home community of New York City, across the country, and globally.”

“PART III, LINE 4A PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Celebrated for gutsy moves, powerful theatricality and virtuosic musicality, the Company's work weaves together the techniques and aesthetics of Modern Dance, Hip Hop, African, Ballet, Tap and social dance to forge genre bending works that reclaim Black narratives. Brown's riveting, historically informed and thought-provoking work inspires audiences and holds space for cultural dialogue and reflection. Engagement activities are essential to the Company's mission; structured talkbacks known as "The Dialogue" follow almost all performances. Through its multi-faceted community dance engagement platform, Every Body Move, CABD uses social dance and movement workshops to cultivate the creative potential of marginalized people, while also sharing the roots of popular movement and music with diverse communities, instilling pride and sharing knowledge about historically black forms of artistic expression. In 2018, CABD toured two full-evening productions from Brown's trilogy on race, culture and identity: "ink" and "BLACK GIRL: Linguistic Play" and her new repertory program, a specially crafted evening of excerpts from all three works in the trilogy. 28 performances in 13 cities in 16 venues across the country and in Canada took place in 2018. Touring highlights included performances at: Hancher Auditorium, U of Iowa, Iowa City; Kasser Theater, Montclair State Univ., O'Shaughnessy Auditorium, presented by Ordway and St. Catherine Univ. Minneapolis, MN; TED Conference, Vancouver, Canada; AT&T Performing Arts Center, Dallas, TX; Newman Center, Univ of Denver, CO; Reynolds Theater, Duke Performances, Durham, NC; Jorgensen Center, Univ. of Connecticut, Storrs, CT; Mondavi Center, U of C, Davis, CA; and Oz Arts, Nashville, TN. In addition to performances touring activities included master classes, lectures, and Every Body Move community engagement workshops. Engagement activities from our Every Body Move (EBM) platform were provided at 20 sites on tour. In 2018, CABD expanded our EBM initiatives in NYC working with 12 community partners located in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan, including the continuation of our flagship program Black Girl Spectrum, and the pilot of two other new initiatives--Black Liberation Moves (BLM), an inter-generational program, and Black Men Moving (BMM), for youth and young men. Each community partner received a custom program to suit the needs of its participants. Black Men Moving was piloted in collaboration with Bailey's Cafe in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn and provided workshops in healthy masculinity, brotherhood, vulnerability, creativity and personal empowerment. In January 2018, as part of its EBM platform, CABD presented the 5th annual Gathering, a convening of 70 Black female choreographers that provided professional development and promoted community amongst artists of color. On June 9, 2018, CABD presented the 3rd iteration of the EBM Celebration at Barnard College for EBM participants and the general public. We served 40 participants with movement workshops, discussions, a community jam session, other creative encounters and a special presentation to honor noted playwright, poet, movement artist and community activist Ntozake Shange. In NYC, our EBM program served 500 participants.”
