QUESTIONS WITH TIM WISE

[5:00] Martheya asks: “For those listening who might just now be waking up to the discrimination and injustice in the United States and more specifically in the dance world and want to help. How would you guide them?”

[7:47] Martheya asks: “How can we acknowledge that and move forward. What would you suggest is the starting point towards taking steps towards action?”

[17:50] Reyna asks: “What does the accountability look like? What do you see the difference looking like? ”

[31:36] Reyna asks: “With the Black Lives Matter Movement happening it makes my mind wander...Universities are now having to hire people of color...Dance Companies need to be more diverse...Is it because they want to deconstruct what has been happening or is it surface level? ”
