As 2019 comes to a close we are taking time to reflect on what an incredible year it has been for Davalois Fearon Dance! We performed across the Bronx, Manhattan, and Brooklyn in museums, music festivals, and theatres.
We celebrated the first year of the For C.J. initiative throughout which we held 6 events, reaching 350 people. Both C.J. and Artistic Director Davalois Fearon grew up in the Bronx, where we focused our initiative efforts and the asthma hospitalization rate for children is 70 percent higher than the rest of the city and 700 percent higher than the rest of New York State. We brought events to churches, community centers, and local venues in hopes of reaching target groups in concentrated areas within the local community. Thank you to everyone who joined us this year! In addition, we were extraordinarily fortunate to have received a MAP Fund Grant and a residency with BRIC Arts Lab to continue the development of For C.J. and producing the next series of awareness events. In this season of giving we ask that you consider making a contribution to Davalois Fearon Dance. Your contribution directly supports the production of new and developing works, administrative, rehearsal and performative fees. The company is geared up and ready for the new decade and we hope that you will help us to make that possible. Make a contribution today by clicking here! We thank you for your continued support and belief in Davalois Fearon Dance and can’t wait to see you in 2020 and beyond!
