Every Friday evening join the AAACC and Black Freighter Press for the Raise Your Voice Open Mic! This open mic is space encouraging solo and group creatives to take the stage with something new, a classic favorite or a little bit of both.

Artists will have a maximum of ten minutes.

Low tech, High impact.

The AAACC is a community led and oriented space, while we try not to censor artists, we do ask that violence, hypersexuality etc be kept to a minimum... ultimately we ask that you read the room and adjust accordingly.

For more information regarding the Open Mic feel free to reach out to AAACC Programs Coordinator Ashley Smiley at : smiley@aaacc.org.

Aztlán

By Luis Alfaro

Directed By Kinan Valdez

In Aztlán, Chicanx playwright Luis Alfaro Aztlán uses humor, mitos, and teatro to tell a contemporary California story about the search for the resonance of the cultural, mythical, and political remnants of Aztlán in our modern world. Subtitled "A Chicano Califas Triptico" Aztlán links 959 years of history through three playlets. The story travels over hundreds of years using mythic Mayan imagery to tell a contemporary tale of a young man on parole, attempting to reimagine a new future for himself. In a land once stricken with drought and now drowning in empire, Aztlán battles with a series of real and mythic demons that haunt his journey toward making a new life for himself.

This play also marks the return of Sean San José to the Magic stage.

Directed by Kinan Valdez of El Teatro Campesino

featuring: Campo Santo's Juan Amador, Catherine Castellanos, Daniel Duque-Estrada, Gabriela Guadalupe, Sean San José, Ogie Zulueta

Hosted by Zaccho Dance Theatre, Youth Speaks, and the African American Arts and Culture Complex,The Art of Rhyme is a unique workshop where the Bay Area’s rising MCs come face-to-face with the pioneers of Hip Hop.

Whether you're a seasoned lyricist or just finding your voice, this engagement invites you to connect with the architects of Hip Hop—those who helped shape the movement from the ground up. Get live feedback on your rhymes, engage in real talk about the craft, and explore how the essence of Hip Hop continues to evolve while staying true to its origins.

What You’ll Experience:

A space to perform and share your original rhymes with a live DJ

Direct feedback and insight from Hip Hop pioneers Grandmaster Caz and MC SHA-ROCK

A space to freestyle in a cypher with legends

Conversations on Hip Hop’s roots, its cultural significance, and its future
