Representation and Race
Host: @mrjgraham
Guests: @kels_sn, @leahhill_dancer and @randallwatson_
In this episode of the @base_pod, @mrjgraham is joined by @kels_sn, @leahhill_dancer and @randallwatson_ to talk about representation in dance through the lens of being Black in the dance world. From early experiences of seeing themselves represented on stage and screen (or not represented as was the case at times) to role models that could be looked up to and whose success they could hope to emulate. We talk about their experiences within dance education and initial steps into the industry, whether tokenism in casting has been prevalent during their careers, the differences between the Commercial and MT world in regards to race and even the differences between the London and LA dance scenes. We hear about the unfortunate negative experiences there have been in work situations and we talk about solutions for them. We talk about changes that have happened during the course of their careers and what they each hope will continue to change. This is just an opening conversation into a hugely important and broad-ranging topic. We will continue the conversation and want to thank our 3 guests for taking the time to discuss with us.
