Please Share This Beautiful Film Boston Ballet Made in Support of the NEA
April 19, 2017
What does dance mean to you? That’s the question Boston Ballet principal John Lam asks his fellow company members in a moving new short film. The dancers’ responses, which we hear as we see them performing fluid choreography by Lam, are lovely: “Joy.” “Change.” “Truth.” “Love.” “Freedom.”
It’d be a meaningful watch even if it were released in a vacuum. But its message hits with special force because Lam created the video to show support for the embattled National Endowment for the Arts, which faces elimination under President Trump’s proposed budget.
Watch and share. Because, as Lam says, life is dance. #SavetheNEA #ArtMatters
