The evening will feature a conversation with ballerina and New York Times bestselling author Misty Copeland following a screening of her documentary “Flower,” a silent arts activism film using dance to help raise awareness about intergenerational equity. Misty Copeland is a principal dancer with American Ballet Theatre and the first Black woman to be promoted to the position in the company’s 75-year history in 2015. Her foundation’s first signature program, BE BOLD, seeks to bring greater diversity, equity and inclusion to dance, especially ballet.
