Seeding Creativity and Community: HopeBoykinDance

Join us as choreographer, writer, and director Hope Boykin blends movement and message while nurturing young artists IN PERSON Choreographer, writer, director, Hope Boykin, combines movement with message. Highlighting her collection of work, created over many years of exploration, Hope is eagerly building, through HBArts Collective, a creative and safe environment for young artists to thrive and grow. As she continues to develop her signature movement-language, HopeBoykinDance, her project-based performance group, will bring works to the Harlem community. The performance will be followed by conversation. — HBArts Collective (HBAC) carries out a dual mission. They are a non-competitive space for creators to process their work; redefining the system of building and making music, film, theater, and dance. They also provide a structured knowledge base for young, emerging artists and future art leaders, closing gaps in access and resources through community support and a practical toolbox to advance their professional development and talents.
