​
DIGITAL, 11:25

The film features a panel discussion with the co-editors and writers of the forthcoming anthology titled "Dance Theatre of Harlem: A Multivalent Portrait." This anthology project aims to bring together researchers and legacy stakeholders in Dance Theatre of Harlem historiography to provide a comprehensive view of the company, school, and neighborhood. The presentation focuses on several key aspects, including the portrayal of ballet as a Black dance practice within the broader context of the African Diaspora, the exploration of the geographic and cultural influences on the company's artists during their global tours, and the examination of Harlem as both a physical location and a cultural hub that shapes the company's identity and artistic practices.
