THE CHALLENGE
Why Good Intentions Aren't Enough
Most discrimination happens unconsciously — even in spaces formally committed to equality. Without proper training and structures, these patterns persist.
Unconscious Exclusion
Discrimination shows up in judgements of beauty and value, aesthetics, social interactions, policymaking as well as exclusion from members of oppressed groups from decision-making processes, which consistent anti-discrimination training can address.
Safety Gaps
Violence in dance spaces is common, ranging from psychological and verbal violence all the way to sexual violence. Science shows that scenes and dancers alike need more tools to address and redress this situation.
Outdated Rules and Criteria
Codes of conduct, dress codes, competition regulations, and judging criteria often use discriminatory language and concepts which need revisiting and updating.
