Chloe Angyal: Why She's Cautiously Optimistic That Ballet Can Change

Listen to Ballet Help Desk ad-free on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/BalletHelpDesk We're joined this week by Chloe Angyal, author of the widely regarded ballet book, Turning Pointe. Chloe addresses such issues as the "ballet brain" and how if affects dancers' willingness to accept problematic practices in the ballet world. We also discuss why she thinks ballet is in crisis, including how we tend to gloss over the authoritarian parts of the art, why claiming traditionalism is actually antithetical to the history of ballet and why she's cautiously optimistic about ballet's future.   Learn more about Chloe: Website Books Instagram: @Chloe.Angyal.writes Links: Ballet Help Desk Support Ballet Help Desk Instagram: @BalletHelpDesk Facebook: BalletHelpDesk Music from #Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/t/ian-aisling/new-future License code: MGAW5PAHYEYDQZCI
