"The Next Wave Choreographers Showcase continues the vision of galvanizing the arts community around the artistic contributions of African and African American choreographers," says BCF Co-Director Laura Elaine Ellis. "To that end, each year BCF pairs emerging artists with mentors, and we're excited to showcase the results of this program: new works by Erik Lee, Joslynn Mathis Reed and Dazaun Soleyn, whose dancing is amazing true gorgeousness!" Mentors this year include Gregory Dawson paired with Lee Joanna Haigood paired with Solyen Raissa Simpson paired with Reed and Robert Moses and Deborah Vaughan serving as adjunct mentors.
Apart from his mentorship of Lee, Dawson is collaborating with two of his company dancers Fowler and Peterson on a sextet which will premiere next month. Several mid-career artists are also on the bill, representing a diverse array of styles from performance art with live music to contemporary social dance to the melding of jazz, West African and Haitian idioms.
