\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

WHAT:<\/strong>
The Music Center\u2019s Innovation Social<\/a> brings free speakeasy-style gatherings designed to spark imagination to Angelenos with a range of reality-bending projects that showcase where performance and technology meet. Previously known as The Music Center\u2019s Black Bar Social, the series evolves this year not only in name, but also with a move to Friday nights and a focus on exciting new digital works. This is the frontier of storytelling, as Angelenos know it and love, and the technology of today and tomorrow.<\/p>\n

The November 2025 iteration, \u201cConnection Through Movement,\u201d includes Aya Umoh\u2019s Rhythmic Wave, where traditional Nigerian dance meets digital avatars of the future; Cosmeage, a Pan-African and sound experience unfolding into a visual art that explores heritage and identity by Ari Melenciano; Hands Performance, a short film by Rashaad Newsome exhibiting the uniquely Black and Queer aspects of sign language; and Black Bar Listening Station by Janice Duncan, an audio installation comprised of short narratives that weave creative archive, community ritual, and celebration of artists.<\/p>\n

Details of the January and March 2026 iterations will be announced soon!\n<\/p>\n

The Music Center\u2019s Innovation Social is made possible by a grant from Agog: The Immersive Media Institute<\/a> with additional support from Sony Pictures Entertainment.\n<\/p>\n
