For the seventh year, Dance/NYC, “New York City's leading organization dedicated to promoting the knowledge, appreciation, practice, and performance of dance in the metropolitan area” will host their annual Symposium, a gathering place for the dance community.  Keynote speakers for this singular full-day gathering of dance leaders and supporters in the metropolitan New York City area are: Misty Copeland of American Ballet Theatre, Virginia Johnson of Dance Theatre of Harlem, Edwin Torres, the Acting Commissioner of New York City's Department of Cultural Affairs, and Darren Walker of the Ford Foundation.  Under the leadership of Executive Director, Lane Harwell, participants will “…explore questions of community and economic development, education, and technology that are central to the future of New York’s cultural sector…” notes the release.  Harwell adds, “In seeking answers to these questions, we will also extend organizational initiatives focused on increasing racial equity and access and inclusion to the arts for disabled New Yorkers.  Underpinning the work is a commitment to identifying, removing, and preventing inequities in the cultural sector and in helping artists advance social justice."  A Pre-Symposium - Disability.
