Are dancers, even ballet dancers, really more ditsed-out about what’s going on in the world than anyone else? That’s the stereotype, but I’m not sure how true it is.
I know a lot of white-collar people who have no idea what’s really happening out there.
But nobody in his or her right mind would claim that dancers are particularly active or aware politically.
All the more reason that Lauren Kay’s “Creating for a Cause” in the current, September issue of Dance Magazine is refreshing.
