Each commissioned artist will be provided with a stipend, mentorship, administrative and production support, and a virtual premiere of their work.

The Davalois Fearon Dance Virtual Theater is the company's response to the devastating effects of COVID-19. Despite pandemic restrictions, the virtual theater was created to support the company's commitment to creation, performance, and community engagement.
The post-performance discussion is a part of the series Time to Talk with Dava, a discursive series created by Artistic Director Davalois Fearon that highlights structural racism within dance, academia, and society at large. It is the second phase of Fearon's Time to Talk project, which points out structural racism within dance, academia, and society. Each episode will feature Fearon and a guest to talk...... about race.
