BLOSM Live Fundraising Concert: Episode 2

DMR Adventures is proud to present the second episode of the Black Lives On Stage Matter (BLOSM) Livestream Series, hosted and created by Denise Folley, Xavier Taylor, and Kolby Kindle.

This episode includes performances and interviews with Actor, Mime and Artist Regan Sims and DMR Alum, Austin Bowen. A BLOSM Roots History segment on the first all black musical on Broadway "Shuffle Along" featuring a selection sung by Chole Rogers, and we'll highlight two current DMR students doing great work in the community. 

This recurring livestream series will create discussions on how to decolonize white theatre and give viewers an exciting look at Black contribution to theatre – past and present.  Each episode, viewers can look forward to seeing a performance from BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) guest artists and DMR alumni and students, as well as a special "BLOSM Roots" Black history segment.

The goal of BLOSM is to build up Black and Brown students in the performing arts for the restoration of culture.  In tandem with the concert series, DMR Adventures has created an all new BLOSM Scholarship Fund.  This scholarship fund will help bring performing arts education to BIPOC students in the Charlottesville area. The BLOSM Scholarship Fund will be supported by viewer support.  DMR Adventures hopes to raise $300 from viewer giving during each livestream.
