Fist and Heel Performance Group, Inc. is a Brooklyn-based dance company founded in 1989 by Reggie Wilson. With a mission to explore the intersections of culture and movement practices, the company creates, researches, develops, and presents new performance work that draws from the spiritual and mundane traditions of Africa and its Diaspora. Their choreography, ranging from strict dance pieces to inclusive performance art, challenges textbook definitions of black dance and showcases the potential of the body as a means for knowing.
Having performed at renowned venues such as Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, Brooklyn Academy of Music, and Festival Kaay Fecc in Senegal, Fist and Heel Performance Group strives for authenticity and respect in realizing Reggie Wilson's creative vision. Their works, supported by major foundations and corporations, display rigor, structure, and craft in a postmodern dance vernacular, expanding the boundaries of traditional dance and incorporating vocalizations, text, and other media.
