Each work selected by curator, Stefanie Nelson, speaks to the “soft bigotry of low expectations”, a resonant and relevant quote. Although it is not a new term, it was recently (read ironically) credited to George W. Bush’s ghostwriter, (white) speechwriter Michael John Gerson in 2015. Nelson invites you to experience these performances through the lens of this irony, a microcosm of the glass castle each of us inhabits, metaphorically supported by a scaffolding of perceived limitations.

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.
