6:35–7:20 p.m. Three Short Plays by Brent Cunningham
Brent Cunningham presents three short plays: “The Event,” “Time's Machinery,” and “The Gunfight.” These works tend to create strict limits and strict tasks for themselves, in one case blacking out a key piece of dramatic information, in another restricting itself to a common aphorism. In addition, each play utilizes a different formal strategy for selecting and training its non-professional actors, frequently taking them directly from the audience.

9:00–10:00 p.m. “Betraying Blackness” by The Black Took Collective
Black Took Collective presents a multi-media performance exploring interrogations of a black unconscious. Using written and aural language, sound, video, and images, the members of the collective enact poetries of inquiry that engage (and challenge) the psyche's making of racial consciousness by conceptualizing unconsciousness. In so doing, the members of BTC expose their poetic processes and poetries-in-the-making, moving through poetries predicated on the conditions of blackness into meditations on the multiple factors that inspire our imaginations.
