julisha Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 In a conversation moderated by Jennifer Homans, Benjamin Millepied and Virginia Johnson will discuss ballet’s position as an art form often denounced for perpetuating traditions at odds with racial diversity, equality and justice. http://frenchculture.org/books/events/race-equity-and-otherness-ballet-and-society Quote Link to comment

Bavalay Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 BebeJ, thank you for posting this. I must be feeling sensitive today--Mr. Boal's writings brought tears to my eyes. To see that a man of influence and in a position of power is such a deep thinker and understands the struggle for dancers of color (black dancers in particular), touched me. And to know that the future for dancers like my daughter may be more possible than years past gives me renewed hope. Quote Link to comment
