BCF 20th Anniversary Wellness & Community Celebration
Date: Saturday, July 12, 2025
Time: 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Location: African American Museum & Library at Oakland
659 14th St, Oakland, CA 94612

 

This meaningful afternoon will include:

• A Wellness Workshop led by Tonya Amos, featuring her signature Core-Choreo class and a powerful reflection on her self-care journey.

• A Community Roundtable focused on healing, equity, and future-centered dialogue. We want to HEAR from you!

• Spirit of Sankofa: Bridging the Legacies of BCM & BCF – an exhibition featuring archival materials, photos, ephemera, and a special dedication to Katherine Dunham and Ruth Beckford. This exhibit celebrates the twentieth anniversary of the Black Choreographers Festival (BCF, 2005–2025) and honors the foundational legacy of Black Choreographers Moving Towards the 21st Century (BCM, 1989–1995), a national dance initiative that paved the way.

 

As we mark two decades of dance, culture, and community, BCF is proud to be incorporating wellness practices and services into our work—recognizing the importance of holistic support in artistic and community development.

Your presence would mean a great deal as we celebrate our collective progress and shared cultural legacy.
