Oversoul Theatre Collective, Inc & Frederick Douglass Unity House Present The Thump & Soul Session
Rooted in the legacy of underground dance gatherings in Black communities: from The Best of Friends in NYC to The Bomb Shelter in New Bedford, to The Loft and Paradise Garage, in New York City, to Boston’s Soul Revival : this alcohol-free experience reimagines the safe, vibrant spaces that once shaped community life, and became very much a part of campus life for northern colleges in the 1980s and ‘90s. Expect Deep Afro Jazz House sounds from WAMPTRONICA, healthy drinks from True North Nutrition NB, and live art creations by Deutra the Caricature Artist.
The THUMP & SOUL SESSION is less about being a party and more about building community; a space to connect, recharge, and move together through music and history.
