Brownbody

Since 2007, we’ve worked with Black artists and community partners to build artistic experiences that disrupt biased narratives prompting audiences to engage as active participants in the journey. Our work expands the bounds of figure skating and dance, and works across communities to encourage thinking differently about how the past informs the present.

Steeped in Black and African diasporic ways of life and artistry, we work to create nourishing spaces for Black and Brown communities. Whether it’s our Learn to Skate Program, a workshop series, apprenticeships, or new premieres and national tours, we continue to strive to reimagine the ice and the stage to shape, ignite, and sustain Black folks in revolution + transformation + healing. The ice is a medium for more than jumps, spins and sequins. It can also be a place where all cultural traditions and bodies are affirmed and valued.
