Ballet After Dark: Strength & Healing Through the Arts

The Equity Office is seeking to create space to explore creative and restorative paths to healing through a community screening of the acclaimed short documentary film, Ballet After Dark, and a discussion around themes raised in the film.
 
Ballet After Dark tells the story of a young woman who found the strength to survive after an attack. She created an organization that is helping sexual abuse and domestic violent survivors find healing after trauma through dance therapy. Produced by Tribeca Studios.
