Finding Herstory was created and performed by Davalois Fearon with the assistance of Careitha Davis. Davis is the founder of BodyRa, a New York City-based company that seeks to connect the mind, body, and spirit through the Caribbean movement. Finding Herstory is a part of the Finding Herstory Project. It is inspired by Africanist forms such as reggae and dancehall that have contributed to the American dance landscape and shaped Fearon as an artist. The piece pays homage to various dance forms, including Kumina, Doundounba, Congolese, Ska, Reggae, and Dancehall, and highlights Fearon’s signature “gymnastic and natural” choreography. Excerpts of Finding Herstory is a proscenium stage adaptation of the evening-length work, which premiered at Dancespace in 2022.
