Carol Prud’homme Davis is an artist, curator, activist and arts administrator/dancer.
In 1980 Carol came to NYC from East Texas to dance professionally, which she did notably with Kathryn Posin and then created two dance companies: Carol A.A. Prud’homme and “us” Productions. She was nominated for the Eleanor Roosevelt Award by Governor Mario Cuomo for her work with “Kids on Stage” as choreographer and teacher.
In 1996, Ms. Prud’homme Davis created and supervised the first free arts education after school with TASC (The Afterschool Corporation). She would go on and create arts afterschool programming at Project Reach Youth, Cypress Hills Local Development Corp., Hetrick Martin Institute and Shadow Box Theater.
She has drawn “live” over 200 professional dance companies, choreographers and teachers, while daily drawing NYC subway and street activity “live” since 2009.
In 2013, Ms. Davis’s art became the first permanent art collection in the American Contemporary Dance Museum. Her work has been featured in Alyssa Chloe Briteramos’ “Punking and Whacking” article in the Nordic Journal of Dance and she illustrated “The Lynn Simonson Legacy” book by Jeanne Donough. She has been commissioned to document a syllabus via live drawn gestures for American Contemporary Dance Museum’s Janet Panetta Legacy Project and Infinity Dance Theatre’s Syllabus/Performance of Abled/Disabled Horton and Ballet techniques for the National Dance Education Organization and illustrative images for Jenny Wa’s Conscious Flow practice. Carol has produced illustrations for Kimberlee Monroe’s original puppetry story; “Helmet”, they are now in the process of expanding the story into a children’s book and or animation series.
