Thank You To Everyone Who Came Out for DSC Fest 2023!
This three-day festival at the Andre Cailloux Center, led by the DSC Teen Company, examined the ways Black youth in New Orleans internalize the impact of violence, how artistic expression can lead us to new perspectives and futures, and how our community plays a part in experiences with violence. Through their new work, the DSC company centered the conversation around how we can heal individually and collectively, affirming the power of creativity in facilitating growth and optimism.
Events were presented on April 19, 20 and 22 and featured a Film Night and Artist Talk Back, plus a Saturday Performance Premiere and Family Block Party. The Block Party included performances from Dancing Grounds K-8 youth students, plus the new film from the DSC Teen Company, “Common Past Forgotten.”
