Nia & Ness are a black, lesbian, dancer-poet performance art duo based in Brooklyn, NY. Their performances aim at deeper understanding of their co-reality through intense investigation of their individual identities. "We invite our audience to enter our world as observers, listening in on our intimate, strong, and loving conversations about and influenced by our identities. We hope those experiencing out work will bring what they've learned into their own lives and interactions with others across various and intersectional backgrounds."
The doors will open at 7:00pm and the performance begins at 7:30pm with a run-time of about 100 minutes followed by a Q&A session with Nia & Ness.
