Grant or Program

Grant Amount
$12,000

Concourse, created by choreographers Barbie Diewald and Shakia Barron, is a dance project that extends the duet form.  Barron and Diewald facilitate a live dialogue in performance, joined by their mentors and emerging artists who are former students. Bringing vision and legacy into conversation at the level of the body, this confluence creates an intergenerational community of inquiry, and affirms that mentorship is multidirectional: we glean as much from our mentees as from our mentors.  Concourse celebrates the feedback loops that occur when we collapse the distinctions between self, student, teacher, and material.
