EKC began in 2016 as a collective of undergraduate student artists at SUNY Buffalo State. Over the years, we grew to be a fiscally sponsored dance company based in Brooklyn, NY. In 2025, we are proud to have transitioned to become one of two resident dance companies housed under the newly formed 501(c)(3) non-profit organization Bashi Arts, Inc. December 2026 marks the 10th anniversary of our first-ever EKC performance, Catharsis. We are so grateful for how far we've come and the exciting things in store.
EKC remains committed to bringing ‘flava’ to conceptual art by creating and performing untold movement narratives of emerging revolutionaries. Working in African Diasporic movement forms, the company reimagines what it means to be unapologetically Black, a woman, and free.
Your presence at the Bashi Arts 2026 Holiday Mixer helps to supports affordable performance and movement spaces where our choreographic research, teaching, and performance practices can grow.
