RE.VERB: echoes in motion, stories on stage

In a time when the world feels heavy—where we are inheriting economic instability, political unrest, and rising fear—re.verb is is a breath, a beat, and a bold reminder that art can still move us—toward joy, toward truth, toward each other. Join us for this a one-day, multidisciplinary performance event where students and teaching artists speak truth to power through original works of poetry, dance, and music.

Produced by Bay Area Creative, this event amplifies the voices of BIPOC youth and creative mentors committed to cultivating radical imagination, healing, and justice. It’s not just an art showcase. It’s a cultural offering, a community gathering, and a testament to the role art plays in revolution.

re.verb invites investment in a future led by creativity, courage, and collaboration. Expect to be inspired. Expect to feel deeply. Expect to walk away a little more awake.

Because when art reverberates, it changes everything.
