Dr. Kaustavi Sarkar<\/a>, assistant professor of dance, is the principal investigator.<\/p>\nWith the grant, the dance department will commission two dance works\u2014a group work for students and a solo for Sarkar\u2014and to further community connections through residencies by Dr. Ananya Chatterjea, choreographer of Ananya Dance Theatre (ADT).

\u201cArt Works grants support artistically excellent projects that celebrate our creativity and cultural heritage, invite mutual respect for differing beliefs and values, and enrich humanity,\u201d reads the announcement from the NEA.<\/p>\n
The 2020-2021 Arts Works Grant is the third NEA grant that the dance department has received in the past decade: The department received a 2010-2011 American Masterpieces grant to restage Martha Graham\u2019s Primitive Mysteries<\/em> (1931) on UNC Charlotte students and a 2015-2016 Art Works grant to support a residency with the Paul Taylor 2 Company to reconstruct a lost Taylor work, Tracer<\/em>. Associate Professor of Dance Kim Jones was the principal investigator on both grants.<\/p>\nIn the 2020 fiscal year, the NEA will give 1,187 grants totaling $27.3 million to artists and institutions across the United States.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe National Endowment for the Arts is proud to support grants throughout the entire country that connect people through shared experiences and artistic expression,\u201d said Arts Endowment Chairman Mary Anne Carter in a recent announcement. \u201cThese projects provide access to the arts for people of all abilities and backgrounds in both urban centers and rural communities.\u201d<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
