"NEFA commissioned Metris Arts Consulting to conduct an extensive report on the National Dance Project on the occasion of the program’s 20th anniversary. The report, Moving Dance Forward, included analysis of 20 years of grantmaking data along with new research on how dance artists and organizations create and tour dance work in the U.S. Partnering with Anne Gadwa Nicodemus and Rachel Engh helped us produce a comprehensive report that served as a roadmap for envisioning the program’s future." —Sara Crawford Nash, Program Director, NEFA
