Gee, will perform beginning at 7:30 p.m.

Developed by artists for artists, workshop leader Beverly McIver, the Suntrust Endowed Chair Professor of Art at North Carolina Central University, will share career, community and confidence building tools to help all artists become successful artists.
“SHE Created IT is a dance movement designed to provoke thought, engage conversation and encourage fellowship, mentorship and excellence amongst creative women in the dance and performing arts industry,” Kendall said. “I am very excited for all dancers, female and male, within The Triad communities to join our movement that successfully elevates dance expression and the business of dance to a higher production level.”
