In addition, NDP increased support for its 18 finalists from $1,000 to $10,000 in direct response to the impacts of COVID-19, economic inequality, and structural racism on artists. This one-time amplified support will aid in further development of their NDP proposed projects and sustainability needs at this time. “We are proud of all that these artists and companies represent,” said Indira Goodwine, NEFA’s program director for dance. “We believe their stories and creative ingenuity will continue to have a deep impact in the field of dance."
