The Spring 2021 season of premieres commissioned by BAC includes a series of live-streamed talks with the artists about their projects and creative processes.
In conjunction with the premiere of STELLAR, Kyle Marshall talks with performer, educator, and dance writer Charmaine Warren.
Warren has been a mentor to Marshall since he was resident emerging choreographer of the 2016 "Dance on the Lawn" Montclair Dance Festival, of which Warren is founder/producer and artistic director, in addition to her role as producer of DanceAfrica at BAM.
STELLAR is available to watch free, on demand June 7-21, Monday at 5PM ET until Monday at 5PM ET.

Lead support of dance programming at BAC is provided by the Rudolf Nureyev Endowment.
