From time to time, I'm going to post some items that might not be about dance per se but suggest the larger context in which dancers are making and talking about art. Basically, these will be situations that I find provocative and often disturbing.
I was moved to start this series--which I'll call The Turning World (...there the dance is)--by this item in yesterday's New York Times. I really feel that this country of ours has got to get a grip.
