Grant Recipient

Reggie Wilson/Fist and Heel Performance Group

Location
Brooklyn, NY
Digital Presence
Artist Website
Project Title
CITIZEN
Fiscal Year Awarded
2016
Grant or Program
National Dance Project Production Grant
Grant Amount
$45,000

This evening-length performance work is a series of solos with some group sections that asks the questions, “What does it mean to belong?” and “What does it mean to NOT want to belong?” CITIZEN enters and contributes toward a larger human conversation on this matter. The work explores and exposes statements of individuality, civic duty, and basic social needs to reveal vantage points that consider the overarching implications, consequences of invisibility, and the complicated humanity inherent in black folks’ sense of their belonging in America. Estimated artist fee: $21,000/performance plus housing and local travel, $29,000/week plus housing and local travel.
