 We sincerely THANK YOU for supporting Davalois Fearon Dance (DFD). We are delighted to share some of our recent accomplishments with you. An excerpt of “Finding Herstory,” the first solo of the “Finding Herstory” solo series project, was performed at Danspace as part of Bloodlines(future), curated by Stephen Petronio. In addition, DFD received the Mosaic Fund grant for “KERNEL,” the second “Finding Herstory” solo, which premiered at the Arts for Art Vision festival. Finally, we are proud to announce that Dava was recently appointed a Visiting Lecturer at Princeton University, where she premiered I.D.G.A. as a part of the fall Princeton Dance Festival. Currently, we are working on the third solo for the “Finding Herstory” project titled “Up/right.” Thanks to you, other individual donors, and funders, we can begin to realize our vision for “Up/right!”As our organization grows, the cost of operating that organization also increases, and new challenges and expenses arise. Such as securing studio space for rehearsals for the company, cultivating new work to add to the company repertoire, and fairly compensating our dancers, musicians, & collaborators for the superb quality work and artistic merit they bring to our organization. We appreciate your help ensuring that Davalois Fearon Dance will flourish for the coming year.
Thank you again! Dava & The DFD Team
