Your Instagram host for the week of May 24, 2026
Meet Dominic Moore-Dunson:
Dominic Moore-Dunson is the 2025 Lloyd Richards New Futures Fellow with The Wilma Theater and an award-winning choreographer from Akron, Ohio. His work blends dance, storytelling, and social inquiry to explore the emotional and spiritual weight of growing up Black in post-industrial America.
Named one of Dance Magazine’s 2023 “25 to Watch,” Dominic’s choreography has been presented nationally and featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and the Akron Beacon Journal. A 2024 Ohio Arts Council Individual Excellence Award recipient and former resident artist at Headlands Center for the Arts and the Atlantic Center for the Arts, he continues to craft performances that invite audiences to feel, question, and remember—transforming personal stories into shared moments of truth and connection.
Meet NCCAkron:
For ten years, the National Center for Choreography–Akron (NCCAkron) has been a leader in dance research and development and a connector for artists. As one of only two choreography centers in the U.S., NCCAkron is an incubator and hub for dance. NCCAkron also offers audiences opportunities to experiment with and understand dance through conversations, events, podcasts, and books.
Over the past decade, NCCAkron has supported 800+ dance artists across 100 U.S. cities, serving as a cultural matchmaker for choreographers and a hyperagent for the national dance field. Offering space and resources for rigorous play and positive failure, NCCAkron has redefined what it means to support dance artists. For more information, visit nccakron.org.
