With the Help of Social Media, the Asian Ballet Community Is Speaking Out Against Anti-Asian Violence

Where Does Immersive Theater Go From Here?
Dance Magazine: It's 9:30 pm on a Thursday night in November; my eyes close as I hear the familiar, haunting notes of the closing music for Then She Fell. Music I've heard thousands of times before. Eerie, swelling strings that have signaled the beginning of a dinner break with fellow castmates, or the end of a long night.

Michael Buffong, its artistic director, had programmed Black Joy at Birmingham Rep for this autumn, which “was supposed to present a step change” in its scale and ambition.
