Experience two powerful new works for free from The Black Artists Dance Collective as part of the ImagiNATION Festival. Witness choreographers Erin Rawlings and Tristian Griffin merge movement, technology, and storytelling to explore identity, memory, and the landscapes that shape us—all in an unforgettable celebration of imagination and innovation.

Erin Rawlings’ Performance
Choreographer Erin Rawlings explores the lineage and layered identities of Black femininity through movement, light, and technology. Inspired by the silhouette work of Kara Walker and the poetry of Warsan Shire, this immersive performance uses shadow theater and projection to reveal intimate portraits of identity, ancestry, and transformation.

Tristian Griffin’s Performance
Tristian Griffin’s performance investigates the deep connection between body and land, where movement, projection, and earth converge. Two dancers perform within a living landscape of light and soil, embodying how memory and history are carried through both terrain and flesh.

The Black Artists Dance Collective is an alliance of Black dance professionals who vow to uplift, support, inspire, and empower Atlanta’s Black dance community. Learn more about the company here.
