New role, same values: A talk with Tiffany Rea-Fisher

It’s fairly common for dance artists to serve in multiple roles: performer, choreographer, teaching artist, administrator, et cetera. Tiffany Rea-Fisher epitomizes such a multifaceted dance artist, in her own striking way. The Artistic Director of EMERGE125, her dances have graced a variety of stages. Entities ranging from the Dallas Black Dance Theatre to the NYC Department of Transportation to the National Gallery of Art (Washington, D.C.) have commissioned her work. Her impact doesn’t end there, however; she’s also a curator, educator and – through roles such as the Director of the Adirondack Diversity Initiative – an advocate.
