Shifting Cultural Power: Case Studies and Questions in Performance is a reckoning with white cultural power and a call to action. Based on the author’s journey as a dancer, choreographer, and activist, as well as on her ten years of leading The Bridge Project, the book locates the work of curating perfor- mance in conversations about social change, with a special focus on advancing racial equity in the live arts. Published by The National Center for Choreography and the University of Akron Press. The intersection of dance and the written word can open up new avenues of under- standing for artists and audiences alike, and it is at that fertile crossing of disci- plines that we as a community can center and address the hard problems and press- ing issues we face today. As Imagery’s first Writer in Residence, Sarah Cecilia Bukow- ski goes beyond the non-verbal communi- cation of ballet to express and investigate topics and issues of the art form we all love so dearly.
