We canceled our Fall 2022 NO/NO programming in solidarity with all of our fellow UC colleagues who were on strike. Night Out / Night Off for Graduate Students of Color was founded by and is run by a Berkeley graduate student. NO/NO will not cross the picket line.

“I lift up our real-life superheroes of the past who paved the way for us to fly and “be fly.” In flight, we see the superpower of Black people in America.” —Camille A. Brown

Camille A. Brown, the New York-based choreographer, dancer, and director returns to Cal Performances with ink. Featuring Brown herself, the company of six dancers performes a series of duets and solos, weaving together elements of African-American social dance, African, tap, jazz, modern, and hip-hop movement, accompanied by percussion-driven original music performed live by a quartet. Through ancestral stories and pop culture references, ink examines self-empowerment, Black love, brotherhood, and resilience—aspects of Black life that are too often appropriated, rewritten, or silenced.
