So excited for our @queertheballet performance residency!

Since we’re talking about Lesbian Dance Theory, did you know about Catherine Devillier? A Black woman who danced for the Imperial Theatre and the Ballets Russes and a big ol’ lesbian. Maybe also the first Black choreographer working in the UK?

As of now, ballet institutions are demonstrating that they are okay with dancers bodily autonomy being taken away— in and out of the studio. (4/4)

[minnie lane @theminnielane]

It seems to me that some people and institutions are more comfortable with defending men like Balanchine who’ve pressured dancers to get abortions than defending dancers’ right to make that choice on their own. (3/4)

[minnie lane @theminnielane]

The ballet field has been eerily quiet about Roe. I have yet to see any companies speak out. I have yet to see any policies to protect dancers’ abortion access. I have yet to see anything written by @Dance_Magazine or @pointe_magazine. (2/4)

[minnie lane @theminnielane]

Ballet dancers get abortions. Abortions have and will continue to save lives in the dance field. Abortions have made many ballet careers possible.

#QUEERTHEBALLET STATEMENT ON SUPREME COURT DECISION

[Candice Thompson @clthomps81]

"Of its ambitions beyond these performances, #QueerTheBallet has a goal of infiltrating the larger culture of ballet companies, allowing more queer dancers to stand in their power right where they already are." My latest for @FjordReview @queertheballet https://t.co/locZgHKgB0

🏳️‍⚧️THERE'S A PLACE FOR US🏳️‍🌈

We're proud to release SOMEWHERE - a dance film, which premiered last week as part of our sold-out concert: Queering the Canon: Sondheim, at Joe's Pub.

✨Somewhere - a dance film✨

It’s true!!! 🥰

I really wanna bring @queertheballet to D.C. — a show at the Kennedy Center would be amazing.
