Site specific Premiere, Parkside Plaza, Brooklyn, NYC: October 21, 2021  

Music and Dance at Parkside Plaza is a site-specific version of Finding Herstory Project 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 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, Dancehall, and highlights Fearon’s signature “gymnastic and natural” choreography. ​
