Southern DanceWorks – Lurks Behind II

Sunday, August 24, 2025 | 6:00 PM | City Walk BHAM Amphitheater
Free & Open to the Public

Southern DanceWorks invites you to experience Lurks Behind Vol. 2, the next chapter in a groundbreaking dance project that celebrates and examines the stories of Birmingham’s 99 neighborhoods. This powerful performance is more than just dance—it’s a living archive of the city’s history, its people, and the connections that bind us together.

Led by acclaimed choreographer Germaul Barnes, the Lurks Behind project draws on months of creative exploration and community engagement. Through a combination of contemporary dance, narrative, and visual imagery, the dancers transform the stage into a space where memory, place, and movement collide.

Following the success of last year’s inaugural performance, Vol. 2 continues the journey with new choreography, fresh perspectives, and deeper dives into the layered histories that shape Birmingham’s identity. Each piece is inspired by the unique character of a neighborhood—its triumphs, challenges, traditions, and hopes for the future.

The City Walk Amphitheater provides the perfect open-air backdrop for this immersive performance, inviting audiences to gather, reflect, and connect. Whether you attended last year or are joining for the first time, this is an opportunity to witness art that is rooted in place and powered by community.

Free and open to all—bring a friend, bring your curiosity, and experience Birmingham as you’ve never seen it before.
