This remarkable event, held on January 13-14, 2024, is a highlight of the Motion/Matter: Street Dance Festival, celebrating the vibrant street dance movements from New York City and beyond.

"The Barefoot Diva," choreographed by the internationally acclaimed Nicolas Huchard, is a powerful performance that explores the intersection of activism and dance. It features five Black women, each embodying the fight and faith in the transformative power of dance. This piece is a gentle yet forceful exploration of boundaries, blending the feminine and masculine, and spanning continents and disciplines.
