Stay tuned for details about our 2022 event!

Power the creativity today for the artists of tomorrow at NextNow, an annual scholarship fundraiser for UNCSA students. NextNow 2021 was held virtually on Thursday, April 22, with Honorary Chair Garen P. Scribner.

About the event

Featuring an exciting virtual showcase of some of the best work by UNCSA students this year, NextNow 2021 includes the world premiere of “Waiting in the Wings,” a newly commissioned contemporary dance work for film by award-winning choreographer Larry Keigwin.

Celebrated for creating acclaimed virtual works in the COVID-19 world of online dancemaking, Keigwin sets his electrifying and refreshing vision to new music by New York-based composer and sound designer Curtis Macdonald. The new work will be captured on film in multiple locations throughout Winston-Salem this spring, showcasing the athleticism and artistry of the School of Dance Contemporary Class of 2021.

NextNow guests will also enjoy exclusive behind-the-scenes content, interact with fellow NextNow patrons and toast the generation of artists who will define the future of the arts — all through the UNCSA Powering Creativity app.
