In this workshop, Rachel DeGuzman led us through an exploration of D.W. Griffith's 1915 blockbuster film,, as a springboard to understand our individual and collective powers to inform culture. As we consider the ongoing challenges to achieve equity in the arts sector in NYC today, remember - we can make a difference! Together, in response to the film we asked: Through my work as an artist or culture worker, can I disrupt racism and foster more equity? What have I committed to? What will I commit to? End your day with: community! The goal of this Plenary Session was to lay the groundwork for a dynamic networking hour in which thoughts and ideas can begin to transform into action plans, concrete commitments and budding or continuing professional relationships. Attendees were invited to come together to engage in extensive dialogue and interactive exercises that address the issues that matter most to them. Participants then self-selected specific activity stations geared towards “activating equity” collaboratively – to put their hearts, bodies and minds together in service of this endeavor. Facilitated by Wilfredo Hernandez. Then, networking and free libations! This program is supported in part.

Activate Drama 720 Eagles Terrace Rocky Mount, NC 27804. There are a number of young and aspiring dancers who live in the surrounding region but there does not seem to be the same opportunity to study ballet at this level compared to elsewhere, so my new programme will certainly bridge that gap’ Ballet Training Programme Graham’s new Associate level ballet training programme is designed to give students a greater insight into the life, challenges and achievements of vocational training and a career as a dancer. Regular monthly Associates classes will focus on classical ballet technique, virtuosity, pointe work/male variations, audition preparation, repertoire and strengthening, whilst additional weekend masterclasses will include a variety of ballet related workshops and activities, and will also welcome guest teachers. Graham Fletcher Ballet Associates is designed to run alongside any current dance training commitments so that students will continue to study with their regular dance teacher in addition to their Associate classes. Our Ballet Associate Programme aims to: • promote full enjoyment of dance and music • encourage all pupils to develop or enhance existing skills and technical ability • inspire self confidence and discovery of individual pathways in dance • identify opportunities for children with natural dance ability • compliment existing ballet training with an an accomplished ballet dancer and teacher.
