About Face: Disrupting Ballet Film Screening
Company:
Lincoln Center
Presented as part of Lincoln Center's Chinese Arts Week and China Institute's centennial celebration, About Face: Disrupting Ballet, a new feature-length documentary, spotlights the efforts of former New York City Ballet soloist Georgina Pazcoguin and author, producer, and choreographer Phil Chan as they launch their global Final Bow for Yellowface movement and challenge the dance world to rid ballet of long-standing Asian stereotypes. This vivid account of the growing pains of creative evolution reveals the tension and risks artists endure as they push classical artforms to more authentically reflect audiences today. After the screening, join us for a talk-back with the film's subjects and China Institute of America's Director of Programs, Susan Yuqing Feng. For a century, China Institute of America has been dedicated to deepening the world’s understanding of China.
