BALLET22

THE CREATION OF BALLET22 WAS INSPIRED BY A LACK OF REPRESNTATION AND OPPORTUNITIES IN THE BALLET FIELD FOR MEN, MXN, TRANSGENDER, AND NON BINARY ARTISTS TO PERFORM PROFESSIONALLY "EN POINTE". WHILE THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES TO PERFORM IN A DRAG-COMEDY" CONTEXT, BALLET22 IS DEDICATED TO COMMISSIONING NEW WORKS THAT GIVE REPRESENTATION TO MXN DANCERS EN POINTE, AS WELL AS WORKS THAT AMPLIFY QUEER VOICES. IN ADDITION, THE COMPANY AIMS TO CREATE POSITIVE CHANGE TO BALLEY CULTURE BY PROVIDING A RESPECTFUL, SAFE PLACE TO WORK WITH EQUITABLE WAGES FOR ARTISTS.
