The vibrant artistry of Brazil comes to Summer for the City for a star-studded week of Brazilian concerts and programs that showcase the country’s diversity, depth, and creative excellence. Conceived in collaboration with Janete Da Silva, founder of the Silva Dance Company, this panel discussion highlights how Brazilian artists are reshaping ballet’s future, exploring the role of identity in shaping a dancer’s career. Moderated by the Executive Director of The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, Roberta Pereira, the confirmed panelists for this talk will include Brazilian-born Nayara Lopes, currently a principal dancer with the Philadelphia Ballet; Ingrid Silva, founder of the arts equity organization EmpowHer NY and originally from Rio de Janeiro; and Dylan Santos, an eleven-year veteran with Dance Theatre of Harlem and on Broadway in the smash-hit The Lion King. The conversation closes with an open audience question and answer session.
