Experience an impactful evening of environmental activism through art!

In recognition of Earth Day 2024’s theme “Planet vs. Plastics,” Dancer Laura Shapiro debuts "The Cost" a new dance solo highlighting the human rights, environmental and climate harms linked to the petrochemical industry.

Dancer Davalois Fearon performs "Excerpts of Consider Water" – inspired by domestic and global water issues, such as water scarcity, water contamination, water quality, and water-related natural disasters.

Paloma McGregor presents a short film exploring the relationship between Black bodies, culture and land.

2016 White House Champion of Change Kayhan Irani delivers a powerful interactive address.

The evening will conclude with a panel discussion between all featured artists.

A dancer in a black tutu and leotard and pointe shoes stands on one leg, with the other leg extended behind the body in a straight line. One arm is raised above the head and the other extended to the back parallel to the extended leg. The school director is opposite the dancer and wears a red DTH logo t-shirt and black pants and ballet slippers. She holds the hand of the arm raised above the dancer’s head with one arm and her back arm is extended and she is smiling at the student.
