FROM THE FOLKS at BALLET TECH: Ballet Tech, which each year introduces hundreds of New York City public school children to the beauty and rigor of classical dance, announces Dionne D. Figgins as its new Artistic Director. Figgins begins leading the organization on August 1, in time for the return of school in fall, as both the education and performing arts fields prioritize inclusion and access in the aftermath of an enlightening year. Figgins will build towards the full realization of an institutional vision that upholds these very transformational aims: Ballet Tech’s core goal is to audition students in every public primary school in the city, creating truly universal access to the organization’s training.
