Exploring social issues and pushing artistic boundaries


​"Fearon's movements are both gymnastic and natural, as the dancers combined crouching and running with sudden bursts of dynamic, leg-thrusting energy, and the work was a haunting reminder that Americans are so lucky to be able to take our water for granted, turning on a tap without effort."
- Davalois Fearon's "Consider Water," Mary Cargill, DanceViewTimes
