BRIC
March 5-6
As part of their BRICLAB Residency, DFD will present a work in progress performance of For C.J. made in honor “…Fearon’s nephew, who fell victim to a fatal asthma attack. His passing was tragic and with proper care and treatment, entirely preventable. Urban planning and systemic redlining in government agencies have pushed populations of color to areas that face disproportionate levels of pollution, which results in the asthma hospitalization and death rates among Blacks and Hispanics being 3–5 times those of Whites. The piece features Fearon’s ballet-infused postmodern/Caribbean movement vocabulary; music composed by Mike McGinnis; wearable sculpture, costume, and makeup designed by interdisciplinary artist Jasmine Murrell; and set design by performer/visual artist Myssi Robinson. For this iteration, Fearon takes her immersive audiovisual experience approach by calling on six live musicians to perform alongside DFD Dancers Morgan Anderson, Njeri Rutherford, and Mikaila Ware,” notes the release.
