This book sheds light on female dancers of colour, including thirteen primary accounts from African American, Latina, and Asian women in ballet. Topics covered include dance training, casting (and colour-casting), employment, discrimination, implicit bias, success, and achievement. Dancers discuss in detail the obstacles many dancers of colour face during training; considerations facing some women of colour when seeking employment; performance challenges related to company work; and the teachers, parents, and community members that paved a way and widened spaces for them. Through the stories and experiences of the women featured here, models of inclusive practices and allyship are shared. The book culminates with a section providing teaching tools to support inclusive learning spaces.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 254mmItem Length: 178mmGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social Sciences, Music Dance & TheatreISBN-10: 1476687056Release Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
