Three men chew the fat under an old, wide tree. In "Hang Time", we peek into the interiority – the great loves and bitter blues – of Black men in America. Setting the romantic and the macabre in sharp relief, "Hang Time" invites the viewer to envisage the living Black body triumphant over the legacy of violence that it holds.
Written and directed by Pulitzer Prize Finalist Zora Howard in her directorial debut, "Hang Time" is a deeply moving and subversive work not to be missed.

Contra-Tiempo's '¡Azúcar!' is a courageous naming/confrontation of and intentional obliteration of the undercurrent and often unspoken anti-Blackness in latinidad. Questions are continuing to drive the process as we begin to understand the complicated history of sugar and the messages from our ancestors.
Bessie Award-winning "Camille A. Brown & Dancers" (CABD) makes a personal claim on history through the lens of a modern black female choreographer. Camille A. Brown’s work uses the aesthetics of Modern, Hip Hop, African, Ballet and Tap to tell stories that reclaim the cultural narratives of the African Diaspora. The company’s work builds understanding of and appreciation for the African American experience.
It’s hip hop but not as you expect! Beltrão has revolutionized the genre, deconstructing the dance form as he grapples with the changing politics of his native Brazil. Expect high jumps, head spins, somersaults, fast kicks and twirling twists. His intense choreography with "Grupo De Rua" is characterized by physical urgency and an analytic understanding of music and space.
A virtuosic ensemble comprised of some of ASU's best student musicians.
