NEFA: Dance Theatre of Harlem
Dance Theatre of Harlem (DTH) and Artistic Director Virginia Johnson have invited choreographer Tiffany Rea-Fisher to create a new ballet inspired by the life of jazz pianist, popular entertainer, and civil rights activist Hazel Scott. This commission is part of Women Who Move Us, a DTH initiative focused on the artistic development and career advancement of female choreographers, particularly women of color. This new work will premiere in the Fall of 2022 in Washington, D.C., as a focal point of Hazel Scott @ 100, a programming series presented by lead commissioning partner Washington Performing Arts to raise awareness of Scott’s contributions to American culture and the fight for social justice.
