Raising Voices En Pointe at Jim Santy Auditorium

Raising Voices En Pointe is a free public screening of two documentaries presented in partnership with Park City Film. About Face: Disrupting Ballet follows Phil Chan and Georgina Pazcoguin, a former New York City Ballet soloist and recent Ballet West guest artist, as they challenge the ballet world to confront and retire racial stereotypes in classical works. Ten Times Better tells the story of George Lee, a Chinese American dancer who performed for George Balanchine at New York City Ballet before spending decades as a blackjack dealer in Las Vegas. Both Chan and Ballet West Artistic Director Adam Sklute will participate in a post-screening conversation.
