In this vein, Malvani Seelal Alexander and Arlene Frank joined forces to create an Indo modern fusion piece entitled, Mhurtani; Kevin Jack entered NDDCI’s choreographic circle with his premier work, 3 Women; Charlene Harris offered her piece, Intent, which was originally created for Lilliput Theatre’s 2011 production, ; while Sherid Mason and Kwasi Romero have each risen to the occasion with new works.

The veterans led by Harris, Charlene Rollock, Louanna Martin, Frank, Denise Dickson-Cunningham and Allan Balfour are ever present imparting their knowledge and inspiring these new professionals to their best.
