Choreographer and founder of JOYEMOVEMENT dance company, Alexandra Joye Warren, will serve as the downtown parks’ inaugural Artist in Residence. Between January and September 2021, Alex and her company will spend focused time to creatively explore the natural and cultural resources of LeBauer and Center City Parks as they develop their newest work, “A Wicked Silence”, a dance exploration of the history, narratives, and consequences of the Eugenics Movement in North Carolina. Alex's residency will serve as a pilot for the official launch of a permanent Artist in Residence program at Greensboro Downtown Parks, as our organization collaborates with Alex to develop a valuable residency experience for future artists at the parks.
