Black Girl Magic Show! is an absurdist dance theatre lecture by playwright/performer nicHi douglas on Black female identity. Utilizing African Diasporan histories, Black feminist theory, and a lot of stuff douglas made up, she attempts to unpack, re-pack, and de-pack the Black female experience in America as witnessed by one Black woman - The Professor. As the audience follows The Professor, they discover what might happen if the one Black girl without 'Black Girl Magic' takes matters into her own hands. Before the show ends, the audience experiences a TED-type talk, modern dance, a magic routine, and a concert, often simultaneously. And they probably see at least 20 wigs.

Some went willingly, others were drafted. Some protested and stayed home, some protested and left the country. Regardless, too many didn't come back. The Speed of Darkness honors those who went but came back forever changed to a country unprepared to acknowledge and honor them. A drama of riveting power, author Steve Tesich's examination of a mid-western family torn apart by a sordid past becomes a compelling metaphor for our country's historical amnesia when it comes to Vietnam.

Part of JACK's year-long series, Reparations365 through song, spontaneous art, projection, and essay, BLACK STREET explores the historical eradication and systematic destruction of an African American economy, education, and progressive labour force.

Combining the complex timbres of percussion instruments hand-crank sirens, wood drums, cymbals, complex suspended metal plates, mallet percussion and found objects , all filtered through microtonal organs or paired with dense, perpetually moving piano complexity, and applied with the quartet's skills, this concert give rise to the sonic universe of Enno Poppe.
