PLG Arts presents, in collaboration with Davalois Fearon Dance (DFD), Music and Dance at Parkside Plaza. The event will be an outdoor, block party-style event that celebrates the rich Caribbean heritage of Flatbush/ Prospect Lefferts Garden (PLG) and the growing community of local artists. The event will feature live drumming by Ryan Greenidge, Agyei Phillip, and Rasaan Green, and the music of composer and woodwind player Mike McGinnis, Dancehall, and Reggae music facilitated by D.J. Ayanna Heaven, and a site-specific performance of Finding Herstory and community dance-along led by Davalois Fearon. The Stephen Petronio Company commissioned Davalois Fearon to create Finding Herstory for the 2021 Bloodlines (future) Program. Finding Herstory is inspired by Africanist forms such as reggae and dancehall that have contributed to the American dance landscape and shaped Fearon as an artist.
Free and open to the public.
