Virtual Symposium: Pioneering Visions for Access and Equity in Dance Education
Forging a path for the future, the inaugural Arnhold Institute symposium looks to seminal, Black histories that, though they have largely been ignored, have shaped the field of dance and dance education at T.C. and beyond. Four guest scholars will present research examining 100 years of history and celebrate two significant pioneers of color who laid the groundwork for access and equity in the then-nascent field:
Charles H. Williams (1886-1978) & Beryl McBurnie, La Belle Rosette (1913-2000)
Speakers
John Perpener III, Ph.D - African American Dancers and the Harlem Renaissance
Mary Ann Laverty, Ph.D - Charles H Williams and the Hampton Institute Creative Dance Group
Judy Raymond - Beryl McBurnie's Dance of Discovery
Ojeya Cruz Banks, Ph.D - Revisioning Dance through Black/African/Indigenous perspectives
