Stepping Up: Choreographer Edisa Weeks Pursues Social Justice in “Action Songs/Protest Dances”
In November, 2022, Kupferberg Center for the Arts put on their first Incubator Artist program, with Edisa Weeks' "Action Songs/Protest Dances," a music and dance performance highlighting Civil Rights of the past and present, inspired by activist James Forman.
This original work is the culmination of the first-ever Kupferberg Arts Incubator initiative, an artist residency program launched in 2020 with seed funding from the Max and Selma Kupferberg Family Foundation.
Kupferberg Center for the Arts’ 2022-2023 Season is sponsored by New York Community Bank – Queens County Savings Bank Division. Major support is provided by the Max and Selma Kupferberg Family Foundation and the Howard Gilman Foundation. Additional funding is provided by Resorts World NYC. Kupferberg Center’s presenting and outreach programs are supported, in part, by public funds from the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the NY City Council.
