INSPIRIT:: a dance company
May 2 & 3, 2009

Performances    Saturday, May 2 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, May 3 at 2:30 p.m.

INSPIRIT was founded by Christal Brown with the sole purpose of bringing together and showcasing young African-American female artists and choreographers. While navigating her own course in the field of dance, Brown came across many young African-American female performers whom she admired and that she desired to collaborate and/or perform with. This desire prompted Brown to create INSPIRIT, a performance ensemble that combines the time and talents of female artists in Washington DC, New York, and North Carolina.
