Interviewing LGBTQIA Dancers

 
LGBTQIA dancer performing Michael Montoya

I am interested in speaking with LGBTQIA dancers who would be willing to be interviewed on camera regarding their experiences with gender/sexual identity and dance. The interview footage will be used as part of a small series of asynchronous middle/high school level arts education lessons on gender roles, how they are enforced in dance and how this affects LBGTQIA dancers. This series of lessons is being produced in conjunction with the New York State Council on the Arts and the NYS Arts in Education Roundtable and will be made publicly online with the intended use as resources for teaching middle and high school students.

A dancer in a black tutu and leotard and pointe shoes stands on one leg, with the other leg extended behind the body in a straight line. One arm is raised above the head and the other extended to the back parallel to the extended leg. The school director is opposite the dancer and wears a red DTH logo t-shirt and black pants and ballet slippers. She holds the hand of the arm raised above the dancer’s head with one arm and her back arm is extended and she is smiling at the student.
