Snap•Crackle•BANG!, a free reception/performances to celebrate The Bang Group, featuring all groups and honoring PFLAG trustee and social activist Stanley N. Griffith.


In its inaugural Boston celebration (reimagined from gala to include the dance community) at the Dance Complex on Saturday, June 17, The Bang Group (TBG) will host an evening featuring Boston choreographers--Ian Berg, Jimena Bermejo, Carey McKinley, and McKersin Previlus--performing with New York choreographers LMnO3 (Deborah Lohse, Cori Marquis and Donnell Oakley). Any event proceeds will support Dance Now Boston/NYC and its commissioning of local dance artists and choreographers between the two cities. A general reception begins at 7:30 PM; Performances at 8 PM. Registration for Snap•Crackle•BANG! celebration information, visit www.thebanggroup.com.
  
Saturday’s celebration inaugurates a new tradition with the presentation of the first “Robert B. and Joan H. Parker Compassionate Action Award”. Through the award, Parker seeks to honor his parents’ legacy as politically motivated philanthropists who combined a love of dance and theater with a passion for social justice in their charitable works. The first award will honor Stanley N. Griffith. According to Parker, “Stan has been a champion for civil and LGBTQ rights, fair and affordable housing and efforts that raise up the human spirit. My parents loved and admired him for his steadfast commitment to our greater good, and his continued efforts make him well deserving of this recognition in their memory.”
