26 | Community Engagement & Outreach Community Engagement & Outreach | 27 DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION

In September of 2018, American Ballet Theatre launched a formal, organization- wide Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (the ‘’DEI Initiative’’) Initiative after many years of departmental specific efforts in this realm.

The DEI Initiative began with a voluntary survey of the staff, dancers, crew and the Board of Trustees to determine overall attitudes and observations about diversity, equity and inclusion at American Ballet Theatre. Following the administration of these surveys, ABT led internal focus groups to facilitate safe spaces for open discussions about diversity, equity, and inclusion within the ABT community. All the while, a Steering Committee, consisting of staff, crew, and dancers from all levels of the organization, were asked to serve as a leaders and ambassadors to assist with the process of gathering and disseminating information amongst the members of the ABT community, while also participating in a DEI Learning Series and assisting with the development of DEI definition, vision, behaviors and leadership practices. On a parallel track, ABT’s Senior Staff also participated in a DEI Learning Series which exposed this leadership group to the intricacies and nuances of DEI work. As a culmination of this concerted effort which amplified the voices of individuals from all levels of the organization, a framework for a three-year DEI Strategic Plan was born. The same concerted and deliberate effort will be used to hone this plan and begin implementation in 2019 and throughout ABT’s 80th anniversary year in 2020.

PROJECT PLIÉ

American Ballet Theatre’s Project Plié initiative identifies promising young dancers, dance teachers and emerging arts administrators of color to participate in high-quality training programs.

In 2018, ABT trained nineteen students in the ABT JKO School Bridge Class program and reached 741 students in thirty-one Boys & Girls Club of America locations through Master Classes across the United States.
