Blackbird

November 12-14, 2010, the Balzer Theatre, Atlanta, GA

By shining a light into one of darkest corners of our society, the multi-media dance theater work Blackbird combines film, music, modern dance, studio art and text to raise awareness about the $36 billion dollar-per-year industry: commercial child trafficking and sexual exploitation.

Atlanta has an average of 400 children trafficked through the Hartsfield-Jackson Airport every month. To change this problem we must first recognize that these horrors are here at home, in our very own city...and change begins at home.
