Dance 2050: A Think Tank for Dance in Higher Education
Now familiar to hundreds of dance educators, “DANCE 2050” refers to a think tank for dance in higher education that is sustained by the National Dance Education Organization.

The Vision Document for DANCE 2050 was written collaboratively in 2013, following retreats at Temple and Wesleyan Universities, and later ratified by a group of conference participants in Chicago in 2014. A two-page Executive Summary can be read here.

Since 2014, a dedicated group of individuals has met each year to generate an open, critical dialogue about the future of dance in higher education. Each year, a different theme drives the colloquy with the intention to engage new voices. A few volunteers across the country continue the inquiry, moving thinking into the next year.

More than a special interest group, these post-secondary dance professionals form a collective of imagination and mindful analysis, to identify the cultural changes that inevitably precipitate new definitions of dance as art in higher education.

The goal of this think tank is to disseminate forward thinking, to integrate dance knowledge, technology, and diverse body practices, to drive progress and positive change in higher education, not to be reactive to forces outside the field of dance.

Morti di CIE – Storie di Ordinaria Detenzione Amministrativa

Una coraggiosa inchiesta sui migranti morti in detenzione amministrativa nei CIE di Stato.

Studiosi ed esperti delle tematiche del diritto dell’immigrazione, antropologi, sociologi, associazioni, fotografi, videomakers, giornalisti, grafici e fumettisti, tutti impegnati nell’attività per la tutela dei diritti umani, hanno deciso di mettere a disposizione di questo progetto le loro conoscenze ed esperienze per raccontare, attraverso le immagini e le parole, le verità dimenticate o nascoste.

“Cause of Death: CIE (Centers for Identification and Expulsion) – Stories of ordinary administrative detention”

A team is composed by human rights activists with a range of different competences ranging from Immigration Law experts and researchers, anthropologists, sociologists, members of civil society associations, photographers, video makers, journalists, graphic designers and cartoonists. We have decided to put together our knowledge and expertise to report, through images and words, forgotten and hidden truths. We have teamed up to realize this inquiry -investing our strengths and resources – because we believe that only through cooperation between individuals with different backgrounds it is possible to make independent information.

Healing Justice

Healing Justice began out of necessity in the late Fall of 2018. A group of young women of color and queer folks (QWOC) who held a shared sense of responsibility to create a program that would address the oppression and trauma they were experiencing in their bodies, minds and spirits from the police, government and other white supremacist institutions. They needed a wellness space that understood that the artificial divisions between our activist and spiritual spaces perpetuated colonialism.

Risk Takers Series

Created in 2004, WET’s Risk Takers Series is a free educational program for teenage girls designed to bolster girls’ self-esteem by teaching them invaluable media literacy and leadership skills that enable them to navigate the 21st century’s media saturated landscape with wisdom, consciousness, courage and strength. The program has served hundreds of New York City teenage girls from over 80 high schools in all five boroughs, with a unique curriculum, inspired in part by The New York Times best selling non-fiction book, Reviving Ophelia, Saving The Selves of Adolescent Girls by Mary Pipher, PhD.

The program has taught New York City teenage girls to become healthy, informed, courageous leaders of society, both in their present and their futures. With the support and participation of special guest Risk Takers at each session including Keri Russell, Olympia Dukakis, Frances McDormand, Michelle Monaghan, Kerry Washington, Jennifer Westfeldt, Mary Louise Parker, Alison Lohman, Ally Sheedy, Kelly McGillis, Kirsten Smith, Nicole Holofcener, Jessica Sharzer, Kirsten Smith, the girls of Risk Takers are reminded that by taking empowered risks, and avoiding damaging risks, they can make their own dreams come true.

After six wonderful years of running the program, and the request for Risk Takers programs in satellite cities throughout the country, Risk Takers has gone on hiatus due to a decrease in foundation support. Please join us in bringing Risk Takers back, by pledging a donation to the program. With increased financial support, we can and will bring the program back.
