DCDC’s elite dance artists, from around the world, bring their expertise, spirit and singular voices to our outstanding repertory of contemporary and classic modern dance.
Qarrianne Blayr
Artistic Director & Dancer Artist
Fayetteville, NC
Qarrianne joined DCDC’s first company in 2012 after having performed for two seasons in DCDC2, the company’s pre-professional ensemble. She earned her BFA degree at Howard University, studying under Sherrill Berryman-Johnson, Pat Thomas, Sandra Fortune-Green, Katherine Smith, Akua Kouyate, and Assane Konte. She also studied traditional Jamaican dance at University of West Indies at Mona.
In 2004, Ms. Blayr founded the performing arts group Arts International.
Of the choreographers she has worked with, Sherrill Berryman-Johnson has been the most influential in helping her become a “moving/thinking vessel.”
Her favorite DCDC repertory piece to perform is The Amen Corner of the dance concert BodyTalk.
