This year we are turning over our annual 8 X 8 platform to Black voices in our community. 8 X 8 Cabaret du Jump en Noir features eight pre-recorded, innovative 8-minute performances. Each night consists of four acts, followed by a panel discussion with that evening's featured artists. An exquisite pairing of palpable artistry combined with awareness of Black identity and culture is being displayed in this unique format, hosted live by  “Vocab”. Music, monologue, poetry, and dance will take center stage in a virtual medium. This demonstration will then fuel a dialogue post performance between audience, moderator, and artist. Featuring: Aamori Olujimi, Odious Dance, Naomi Sumthin2Say, Brian Drones, Jess Mahogany, Nigel Pierce, Andrea “Vocab” Sanderson, and Darcell Bios.

Admission is at the audience members’ discretion to “choose-what-you-pay”: $0, $4, $8, $16 or $20. A Zoom link and password will be emailed after the purchase is complete. Tickets available soon! For more info call 210-227-JUMP (5867).
