Wideman Davis Dance, started by Tanya Wideman-Davis (above, right) and Thaddeus Davis in 2003, was among the arts organizations that received money from the Southern Power Fund, which was started during the pandemic by Alternate ROOTS and other organizations to raise funds and provide grant money to address immediate community needs in the South. The grant received by Wideman Davis Dance enabled the organization, with dual headquarters in Columbia, SC, and Chicago, IL, to move its dance residency programs to a hybrid environment. 8 x Southern Theatre x Fall 2022
