Daysha Receives Residency with The New Harmony Project

As a part of her prize package for winning 1st place in the 2022 Lorraine Hansberry and the Rosa Parks awards categories for The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Daysha spent 10-days along the banks of the Wabash river in New Harmony, IN as a writer in residence for The New Harmony Project.

The New Harmony Project is a national arts organization whose mission is to nurture writers in the development of scripts and new works that interrogate the complexity of hope.

For more than three decades, The New Harmony Project has gathered world-class writers and artists along the banks of the Wabash River for an intensive, creative residency and retreat program in the spring of each year. Throughout that time, Pulitzer Prize, Tony, Emmy, and Academy Award-winning artists have worked alongside early and mid-career writers, students, and the local community to create a one-of-a-kind experience in Utopia. With a unique focus on process over product, The New Harmony Project supports and cares for writers so that they can find true creative respite and ultimately change the world.
