International Human Rights Festival
We’re excited to share that BodyStories will be part of the International Human Rights Art Festival 2026, presented by the International Human Rights Art Movement, this December!
BodyStories: Teresa Fellion Dance is curating the work of six artists, connecting to the festival’s focus on social justice and human rights. The evening brings together Heidi Latsky, Andre Zachery, Joya Powell Movement of the People, Jill Vallery, Thryn Saxon, and BodyStories, with perspectives that share a common thread, while feeling varied and inspiring.
Each artist approaches justice differently, offering a wide view of what art made in the name of humanity can be: a coming home, a common ground.

BodyStories 15 year Anniversary Immersive Dance Benefit
Exactly fifteen years ago, BodyStories began as a simple yet ambitious dream to touch the lives of those around us through dance. To celebrate our anniversary, you’re invited to relive our evolution from a humble group of ambitious dancers to an internationally touring company of socially engaged performers and educators.
As we reflect on the past and move forward into the next chapter of our story, help us celebrate 15 years of movement, community, and the people who have shaped the ever-evolving BodyStories universe.
As we celebrate the friendship and imagination that have carried us through the last 15 years, we’re also looking towards the future beyond this milestone. Your presence and support will help us continue our mission to make dance for everybody by:
- Double the amount of students served by our educational programs, to ensure future generations maintain access to robust and challenging dance training.
- Build on last year’s 25% wage increase for dancers, cementing competitive wages for our dancers in an era when arts funding is at risk.
- Complete Embers of Becoming as a full-length touring production, bringing to fruition 15 years of community-led storytelling about the universal process of coming-of-age.
- Offer one fully funded artists residency at MAR+RC in 2027, expanding interregional collaboration between artists across New York State.
We hope you’ll join us to celebrate 15 years of changing lives through accessible, profoundly community-centered movement. With your support, we can continue this work together for the next 15 years to come.
