BLACK SPACE
a form of consciousness not limited to or bound by place, time, energy, or geographic location. It is a construct of lived experience and conduct not exclusive to a singular person, people, place, or thing. Black Space is vast, existing in the known and unknown as well as in the mystical with cultural roots in Black /Pan-African and transatlantic African diasporic cultures and communities.

Leslie Parker Dance Project (LPDP) is an entity that gathers independent performing artists, taking necessary risks.
LPDP is driven to move Black culture(s) into the future through dance-art using music, story-telling, visual art, text, film, and dance relating to themes of spirituality, gender, and ethnicity.
Performance as a daily-life ritual of (extra)ordinary interactions with audience, participants, witnesses and observers, makes transformative intercultural experiences more possible.
Workshops, residencies, and performances are collective action rooted in empathic exchanges across generations, geography, and creative expressions in dance.
