"Offers an intimate portrait of a remarkable dancer, Jock Soto, who retired from the New York City Ballet at age forty, after a twenty-four-year career. Soto's journey as an openly gay man of Navajo Indian and Puerto Rican descent provides a rare glimpse into the life of a dancer and the disparate worlds which shaped this important artist. Soto was asked to join the New York City Ballet by George Balanchine at sixteen after first studying at the affiliated School of American Ballet on a full scholarship."--

"This program explores the creative expressions of five performers/artists who portray the realities they find in multicultural identities, sexual orientation, and various intersections of social identity and oppression. The powerful vignettes reveal the impacts of oppression on these individuals and show how social context can define an individual."--Distributer.
