Multi-disciplinary Performances

I really enjoyed last Sunday. I read Arundhati Roy's Power Politics and I love it! Am re-reading and highlighting. She is so clear, and brings together the environment, war, corporate corruption/
reliance on fossil fuel energy is the basis for so much warring; the "American way of life" is wanton consumption, destruction and addiction. That image of emaciated men digging trenches by candlelight to bury fiber-optics cable has really stuck with me. Anyhow, I'm so grateful for the work you do here in Houston. We are lucky to have you here.

Each year, VBB hosts about 9-10 multidisciplinary performances. Each show is theme-based touching on issues such as Palestinian rights, the rise of HIV/AIDS, international peace, etc. All performing arts shows that VBB hosts generally include at least three artistic disciplines ranging from spoken word, digital art, music, film, dance and more. We also a present Cultural Narratives series, through which we present writers, radio personalities and public figures who speak on current socio-political issues.

In addition, VBB presents youth performances in public venues or in student high schools. Shows are curated by VBB Board members as well as community participants.

There is no formal submission process. If you are interested in presenting/ performing in a show, please contact our office.
