Featured Artist April Newcity
April Newcity’s Bio
April Newcity earned her bachelor’s degree in Anthropology at the University of South Florida in 2017 with a focus in Cultural, Linguistic, and Visual Anthropology. During her schooling, she conducted research involving movement analysis and notation cross-culturally, as well as the African American Diaspora in modern day literature. She was a student choreographer at the University of South Florida with two full length works selected and staged by the Student Dance Production Board.
As she continued her education, she explored the incorporation of culture, literature and dialogue in her movement research and choreography. She later received a Flash Fiction Award for her writing and was published and featured by the Hillsborough County School District in American Stories, a collaborative book by the University of South Florida’s students and faculty, featuring the lives of various refugees currently living in the Tampa Bay area. April wishes to continue sharing her artistic work, using an anthropologic perspective as a platform to challenge cultural norm and advocate diversity.
