Harlem Stage proudly announces the appointments of internationally celebrated artists Divinity Roxx and Calvin Royal III as its new Associate Artistic Directors. In close collaboration with Indira Etwaroo, CEO & Artistic Director, Roxx and Royal will support a bold new era for Harlem Stage that began under Etwaroo’s tenure in 2024.

Roxx will continue her work as a musician and member of the Board of Trustees of the Recording Academy that produces the Grammy Awards™ and Royal will continue his landmark tenure as a Principal Dancer at American Ballet Theatre, while continuing to push the boundaries of contemporary dance.

“This is a defining and deeply meaningful moment for Harlem Stage,” said Dr. Indira Etwaroo. “Divinity and Calvin are extraordinary artists and visionary cultural leaders whose brilliance, innovation, and commitment to artistic transformation align profoundly with our mission. I believe the era of monolithic artistic leadership needs to give way to a more expansive and intersectional cultural future and Harlem Stage is proud to embrace a model of leadership that reflects the multiplicity of identities, disciplines, and perspectives shaping contemporary performance and civic life.”
