Puffin Foundation Grant

Renowned dancer, curator, and choreographer Endalyn Taylor and I are collaborating with five cross-generational ballerinas towards a multi media performance, exhibition, and symposium titled Counterpoint Project. This project will explore, discuss, and reframe the ongoing cultural and critical contributions of black ballerinas in dance and visual culture.

I’m honored to announce that I have been awarded a Puffin Foundation grant to complete new work toward this goal! The Puffin Foundation (Teaneck, NJ) “has sought to open the doors of artistic expression by providing grants to artists and art organizations who are often excluded from mainstream opportunities due to their race, gender, or social philosophy.” I will use this grant to complete new works that will debut in New York City in the spring of 2018 — more details about the project will be shared in the near future.

  1. My partner and I absolutely love your blog and find the majority of your post’s to be just what
    I’m looking for. Do you offer guest writers to write content to suit
    your needs? I wouldn’t mind creating a post or elaborating
    on many of the subjects you write regarding here.
    Again, awesome website!

  2. Hello there! This post could not be written much better!
    Going through this article reminds me of my previous roommate!
    He constantly kept preaching about this. I most certainly will send this post to him.
    Fairly certain he will have a great read. Many thanks for sharing!
