About this event
Documenting Grace Film Series - About Face Two Asian American dancers challenge the elite world of ballet to jettison offensive racial tropes and “chinky” Asian stereotypes, including dancing in yellowface makeup. Acclaimed ballerina Georgina Pazcoguin and pioneering choreographer Phil Chan drive a global grassroots movement, battling entrenched tradition and political pushback as they force critical examinations of beloved classics like The Nutcracker and La Bayadère . This vivid account of creative evolution reveals the tension and risks they endure to push an art form—created centuries ago for kings and queens—to be more relevant to today’s diverse audiences.
