In 2015, the popular London nightspot DSTRKT turned away would-be dancers at the door for being "too fat" or "too dark." That incident, and the ensuing protests at the club, inspired playwright Jessica L. Hagan's choreopoem Queens of Sheba, running this January at Lincoln Center as part of the Under the Radar theater festival. In solidarity with that work's message of inclusion, you are cordially invited to stay up late and join the Queens cast on the dance floor and at the bar of the David Rubenstein Atrium to revel in movement and celebrate yourself at the Anti-Misogynoir Disco. An all-star selection of locally based DJs—Twelve45, DJ Shannon, Lady Nik, and Miss Hap—will spin an eclectic and Afrocentric mix of soul, house, pop, and Afrobeat tunes, harnessing the unifying power of music and sisterhood to carve out a welcoming space for Black women, femmes, and those who love them. The evening will also feature a short performance by the Black woman-led dance company EMERGE125.
