First Person
Reimagining a Queer Dance World
Season 4 Episode 3 | 36m 31s
How can the world of dance reinvent itself for the 21st century?
To an outsider, the world of concert dance can be seen as a refuge for LGBT+ youth, but due to centuries-old traditions and rigid institutions, many dancers' experiences are anything but that. Dancer Garen Scribner and choreographer Miguel Gutierrez compare experiences coming of age in dance academies and talk about what needs to happen for those institutions to adapt to the 21st century.
