The BlackLight Intensive returns to The Clarice for a one-day intensive that dares artists to venture past the edges of the known. Beyond the Wilds is an invitation to move without a map, to create without permission, to gather in fellowship with others who refuse the well-worn path.

Light is needed to see in the dark. And it is precisely there in the dark, in the uncharted, in the wild where discovery and creation truly exist. Through movement workshops, embodied dialogue and the friction-filled collision of artistic practices, participants will explore what lives beyond the familiar edges of their craft. BlackLight becomes both guide and companion, illuminating the terrain where imagination runs free and new artistic possibilities take root.

This is a space to ignite courageous imagination, tend the spark of collective creation and remember that the wilderness is not something to survive — it is somewhere to belong.

Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with an energizing performance that brings Latin American musical traditions to life. Elena La Fulana is a Latin Grammy-nominated instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, and leader of the D.C.-based, Wammie-nominated, bilingual, Latin folk band Elena & Los Fulanos. Originally from Managua, Nicaragua, Elena identifies as both American and Nicaraguan and her music, which ranges from twangy, heartbreak-themed folk Americana to soothing, introspective, violin-infused Latin cumbia, reflects this dual identity. Her band’s second album, Volcán, was hailed as ”a bilingual folk album for the resistance” by the Washington City Paper, a publication that also selected Elena for their People Issue 2017 highlighting notable Washingtonians. In 2019 Elena began touring with the Latin Grammy-winning and Grammy-nominated band Flor de Toloache, and with whom she performed at the Kennedy Center Honors in 2019, at the White House in 2021, and at the Latin Grammys in 2021, and was nominated for a Latin Grammy in 2022. She is an eight-time recipient of the DC Commission on Arts and Humanities Artist Fellowship and the curator for “Pa’lante,” a Latin American cultural series out of Joe’s Movement Emporium in 2024. In 2025, she launched Mamá Elena, a bilingual music project for children and families.
