Melissa Ajayi Presents "Half the Sky" at Westfield Studio Theatre

Dancer-choreographer Melissa Ajayi's interest in creating her own dance works came at a young age in her hometown dance studio in New Philadelphia, Ohio. It only grew stronger over the years as a dance major at Kent State University and as a freelance dance artist living in New York City and Lexington, Kentucky. So, forming her own eponymous project-based dance company in 2021 was a natural next step in her evolution as a dancemaker.
