Katharine Pettit Creative - KPC is partnering with the Black Mental Health Alliance to curate a virtual dance centered concert, "Transcend, Uplifting Their Voices", that will center Black Trans, Non Gender Conforming, and Queer Artists Wednesday July 14th, 2021, 6PM.

Our Collaboration celebrates Black Trans, Non Gender Conforming, and Queer Youth through dance, discussion, and poetry, offering three Black Trans Mental Health Scholarships for young artists pursuing a career in dance.

KPC is collaborating with multiple organizations including the International Association of Blacks in Dance and Black LGBT+ led dance companies and independent artists.

"Transcend, Uplifting Their Voices" is free in order to elevate inclusiveness of all communities and introduce various genres of dance to the cross section of people that will attend.

KPC target audience is Black and Brown LGBTQ young people who need to see themselves in the spotlight, witness their experiences through movement, and hear from trailblazers in the dance world that have been where they are now.

Applications for the scholarship are OPEN NOW to anyone high school or college age, 17-27, who identifies as Black Trans, NGC, and/or Queer and is pursuing a career in dance.

"Transcend, Uplifting Their Voices" initiative offers each of our supporters the chance to work towards racial equity by dismantling systemic racism through the decolonization of dance.

We aim to make this an annual event to continue to raise funds and resources for the Black LGBTQIA community.
