Captured by director Raja Virdi and marking the occasion of venues reopening, the film moves seamlessly from the roof of the venue to the basements, with other performances throughout the building including new pop acts Maisie Peters, Holly Humberstone, and Baby Queen, as well as spoken word and poetry by Sophia Thakur, Henry Stone and Samuel West. This streamed event is a collaboration with four other major venues around the world – Sydney Opera House, Cadillac Shanghai Concert Hall, Royal Theatre Carré in Amsterdam, and the LA Phil – which will also broadcast exclusive performances.
The death of George Floyd in police custody sparked national and global outrage, then the revival of a movement against police brutality and racism. People are beginning to take substantial action to fight racism, and the ballet industry is no exception. Ballet, an art dominated by white artists, started in the 1500s in Italy and eventually spread to the United States. Ballerinas captivate the audience with their graceful turns, jumps, spins, and other movements thanks to pointe shoes. Pointe shoes are shoes with a wooden box inside that ballerina’s balance on. These shoes are commonly pink because the ideal skin color of a ballerina has traditionally been white. The color of the shoes allows a beautiful picture to be created because the color of the shoes matches the ballerina’s skin tone, making it seem as if the ballerina is dancing on air.
