Ice Theatre of New York (ITNY) presents The Unseen, a real-time motion capture performance on ice showcasing, celebrating, and honoring Black figure skaters of the past and present on December 16 & 17, 2022 at 6:30pm at ONX Studio, 645 Fifth Avenue, NYC. For more information and to RSVP for this free event, visit givebutter.com/THEUNSEEN.

During The Unseen, visuals will be projected on the ice blending the stories of the future-past. This work explores and discovers Blackness both in the context of race, as well as outside of race. Blackness as invisible (transparent), unknown (unseen), and expansive. Blackness as magic, unbound by colonial markers such as time, gender, race, class, sexuality etc. How do we navigate, and heal by accessing the unseen? How might we honor and channel the stories of our ancestors as an embodied experience, and how can we save that information for generations to come?
