Fable & Sow Theatre Farm Artist Residency
As a part of Fable & Sow’s mission to uplift and champion the work of BIPOC/Queer artists, our residency program, offers a safe space and the resources we have at our disposal to support our artists as they write, frolic, dance, create, and dream, with an organization that believes in radical rest and a loving process.
Nia Calloway
Fable & Sow is honored to introduce our 2025-2026 Artist-in-Residence, Nia Calloway. Nia Calloway (she/her) is a multi-disciplinary artist and educator who traverses the worlds of theatre, poetry, music, dance, and the healing arts. Driven by the desire to relate the natural world, supernatural phenomena, and the cosmos to our bodies, Nia’s art serves to reorient our stories around Black femme bodies, our planet, and collective healing.
Nia’s NYC Off-Broadway credits include Behind the Sheet (Betty) at Ensemble Studio Theatre, How To Save The World In Ninety Minutes (Aaliyah) at The Cherry Lane Theatre, and WILLIE GETS NAKED (dancer) at Playwrights Horizons. Nia has also performed her original poetry regularly at Symphonics Live (NYC) and has featured her work at the 2021 Berlin Poetry Festival, Bowery Poetry Club, Berlin Spoken Word, Genre Urban Arts, Write About Now (Houston, TX), & The Nuyorican. She studied dance at ROAR Berlin, exploring radical journeys in body, dance, and performance. Her solo theatrical work was presented at Judson Memorial Church (2020), JACK Radical Acts Festival (2022), and HERE Arts (2023). In both 2022 and 2023, Nia was awarded a paid writing residency with Fernland Studios, focusing on Environmental Sustainability and working on the first draft of her play entitled Earth is Not One of Your Lil Friends, which was performed at Center for Performance Research NYC in December 2023 with The Bushwick Starr’s Starr Reading Series. She is currently pursuing her MFA in Poetry at The New School. Nia is thrilled and honored to partake in the Fable & Sow Artist Residency, as well as join the Fable & Sow creative team.
