×Emerging from the pandemic, ballet companies will struggle to find funding and audiences in an increasingly competitive atmosphere which requires a strong set of skills to move past the traditional markers of success; a well-known dancing career or profile and being of a certain “lineage” or groomed by a departing Artistic Director.
Historically, women are reluctant to even apply for Artistic Director positions due to their lack of access to pipeline jobs that create a compelling resume for leadership roles. Additionally, Boards of Directors, often older donors, are oblivious of their unconscious bias that equates competency with being male, and search firms are unaware of many talented, potential candidates as they refer to the same sources repeatedly.
While the performing arts, and dance in particular, has recently been focused on race, the industry needs to recognize that women, particularly women of color, face extraordinary obstacles to leadership. They continue to be primary care takers for elders and children, while affordable high quality day care has always been scarce, during the global pandemic, the lack of access has become acute, especially difficult at a time when many school age children were not able to attend in person classes.
