The Black Artists Space to Create (BASC) Residency offers three artists a residency at Modern Accord Depot in Accord, NY. The 2023-24 recipients are Mickey Davidson, Jordan Deal, and Aya Shabu. Each artist will receive a one-week residency with unlimited access to a dance studio, full living space, and a $2,000 stipend. The residency is designed as both retreat and a space to create without the pressure of developing a new project. Additionally, artists have access to complimentary studio space at New Dance Alliance’s loft in Tribeca throughout the season, and are invited to show work at NDA’s annual Performance Mix Festival. Artists were selected by the 2023-24 BASC Curatorial Committee: Davalois Fearon, Ayan Felix, Djassi daCosta Johnson, Miriam Parker, and Majesty Royale-Jackson.

“My creative history with New Dance Alliance goes a way long. Since my friend, Chivas Sandage brought me to New Dance Alliance to rehearse in early 90’s, the place has become a part of my creative life. The long time existence of the studio and Performance Mix Festival are vital to the artists who seek and explore deep into their process. Whenever I step into the studio, it’s a new space with a lot of memories. I lie down on the floor, listen to my body, and I dance. It is valuable. The time in the space nurtures my practice and artistic vision. Karen’s vision of Lift-Off residency, feedback sessions, providing peer to peer connections are more significant than ever. It has been helping us to get through 2020 and we are going into 2021.”
