Seattle arts veterans Vivian Phillips and Marcie Sillman plumb the deepest depths and the tiniest cracks of our world to understand how culture and creativity shape our lives, sometimes in ways we don't even see.
Theresa Ruth Howard fell in love with ballet as a little girl. And she was one of the aspiring ballerinas who got to live her dream.
Howard went on to write about dance, and ultimately, to work with ballet companies that aspired to open the rarified art form to a more diverse pool of both dancers and audience members.
Howard is also the founder of Memoirs of Blacks in Ballet, a project that seeks to make Black dancers' stories accessible to a wider audience.
Vivian and Marcie spoke with Howard about her work, and about her vision for ballet in the 21st century and beyond.
