โ€œa TRIBE performance is so profoundly unique and expansive. Not just a layering of lighting on a stage of dancers moving to a score, the TRIBE approach of collaborative creation among the series of artists really felt distinct and transformed the space and audience!โ€

A beautiful message we received from a patron after seeing our BLACK HOLE performance at New Victory New Victory Theater this week.

Words like these mean everything to us.

Huge thanks to everyone who came out to see BLACK HOLE at this week, and thank you NVT for having us!
