Okay, which of my writer friends have read Yellowface and want to discuss? I finished last night and can't stop thinking about it. (@lidija_hilje this would make for a WILD book club discussion!)

I joined @Twitter 9 years ago because this cute guy I went on a couple dates with was active on the site and I didn’t want to miss out. Now he’s my husband.
So nice to connect with so many of you, often IRL, after meeting here. Hope you’ll continue to follow me and my work!

@chrisgeidner “Tenders at 6am on fire island” is what I call morning cuddles with @kevinjcall

High praise indeed, thank you @wperrondancemag 🤩🤩🤩

This is a wonderful, complexifying essay about the appeal of Orientalism, where we would lay blame for appropriation, whose efforts had integrity, and how St. Denis's approach changed according to audience's wishes.

I worked with the brilliant Caroline Hamilton to put together and exhibition at @JacobsPillow that will be up all summer, but if you can’t make in person, I hope you’ll check out the digital exhibit danceinteractive.jacobspillow.org/themes-essays/…

The Trump audio:
"See as president I could have declassified it. Now I can't, you know, but this is still a secret."
"Now we have a problem," a staffer responds.

Because David Byrne really, really loves the '80s, because choreographer Annie-B Parson is genius, because its off-B'way run was spectacular, may "Here Lies Love" reap all the luck in the world vulture.com/article/here-l…

@JennyFitz2000 Thank you, just seems odd that I’m being “reviewed” when I haven’t even seen the sets and costumes yet 🤷🏻♂️ Anyway, if you’d like more info about my production that isn’t based on conjecture, here’s a recent lecture I gave about my process: youtu.be/8xFhWBrQUoc

@philschan Whilst the talking heads are attacking you, the dancers and the ordinary people in the theatres are waiting eagerly to see what you do.
Merde!

I wonder why I’m being slammed before I’ve even set a single step, yet the White choreographers who have continued to revive the canon “as is” — racial caricature and all — escape unscathed?

It's a hot afternoon here in London, so why not pour yourself a nice cool drink and read our latest post? If you're elsewhere in the world, get yourself a nice tea or coffee 😉 📖🫖🍹🍺☕️ 📖 britishballetnowandthen.com/2023/06/22/the…

Actually, I’d go a step further if @Theatrely is serious about being more than just an adverb. A great demonstration of atonement would be to employ AAPI writers and EDITORS.

Seeing people that look like me and my family on stage in shows that are traditionally led by yt ppl will never be “a clever bit of social justice marketing”. It’s okay to feel seen even in the slightest of ways it can change a story, it can be representation-

@juanmichaelii @kkassal @Theatrely The logical conclusion of this statement is that any inclusion of any Asian American performer is merely a cheap gimmick to satisfy some political agenda, and not a reflection of their artistry or talent. Certainly saying a lot more than just “spectacular,” aren’t we?

This shirt can be read both as “Black is Beautiful” and “Beautiful is Black” 😭😭😭 Where do I get one @marcusryder ?!?

@pointe_magazine Perhaps @pointe_magazine might consider updating the article to add this critical piece of information? That were just taking her artistry at face value without this extra context is irresponsible, especially for young dancers
English
@pointe_magazine Additional context friends: Gelsey is EXTREMELY underweight here, and in no way should we be advocating that anyone who wants to be a dancer should look like this. This is not the ideal and is not healthy.
