Bold, beautiful and brimming with moments of radical joy, SHINE BLACK is an evening dedicated to celebrating our favorite Black artists.
In a year where spirits have been dampened and the arts had to hibernate, The PappyShow has awoken with a bang to give over 30 artists a platform to perform, share their craft and SHINE! In a time when it’s never felt more important to do so, SHINE BLACK brings a night to really value black lives, share stories and uncover the tapestry of creativity marginalised identities have to offer.
With slick camera work and completely live editing, we’ve explored what live theatre looks like during a worldwide lockdown and we’re a big fan. Audiences have tuned in live to celebrate, boogie and enjoy a curated night of performances from the comfort of their own homes.
An evening of dance, music, writing and the best of vibes.
Black excellence brought to you, with joy, by The PappyShow.
All profits received from ticket sales were donated to the following charities
Southall Black Sisters - empowering Black women to escape domestic and gender-related violence.
Black Minds Matter UK - connecting Black individuals and families with free mental health services provided by professional Black therapists.
To date, we’ve live streamed two SHINE BLACK events across the world, and can’t wait to shine a light on underrepresented communities in the future. Keep you eyes peeled for SHINE WOMXN, SHINE QUEER and SHINE SE ASIA.
