CONSIDER WATER Consider Water is a multifaceted dance piece inspired by Davalois Fearon's experiences of limited access to clean drinking water when visiting family in Jamaica. It combines three types of artistic expression: dynamic and fluid dance, original music, and visual arts to bring attention to domestic and global water issues, like water scarcity, water quality impairment and water-related natural disasters. Consider Water premiered at the Joyce Theater in 2017.

"'The piece takes the audience through the various stages that water can be;gas, liquid, and solid. It then shows the joys that water brings with sweepingmovements, and contrasts the miracle of water with the devastation it iscapable of delivering."          - BronxTimes "Davalois Fearon made an electrifying Bay Area debut as a choreographer lastDecember at the Berkeley Arts Festival performance space with her solo piece,Consider Water, performing a ritualistic piece to a live score by reed expertMike McGinnis."          - Andrew Gilbert, The Mercury News "Fearon's movements are both gymnastic and natural, as the dancerscombined crouching and running with sudden bursts of dynamic, leg-thrustingenergy, and the work was a haunting reminder that Americans are so lucky tobe able to take our water for granted, turning on a tap without effort."          - Mary Cargill, DanceViewTimes Touring Personnel: four dancers, four musicians, and one productionmanager/lighting designer. Technical requirements: video projector, audio playback system.
