Highlighting the urgent concerns of dance artists who simultaneously hold primary caregiver responsibilities for children and/or elders, this panel presentation draws necessary attention to longstanding systemic issues in the sector, which have been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. The event welcomes dance artists, arts workers, arts organizations, funders and others in the sector, with the goal of working together toward supportive action and critical change.
