Eduardo Vilaro, artistic director and CEO of Ballet Hispánico, is in the studio this month! Ballet Hispánico was founded back in 1970 by Tina Ramirez, and the company has spent more than five decades celebrating the vibrant diversity of Latino cultures through dance. The company says it's not just about performances—it's also about breaking barriers, challenging stereotypes, and making space for Latino/Latina voices on stages all around the world. Eduardo originally joined the company as a dancer and educator in the ‘80s after taking a class and being hand selected by Tina. After spending his next ten-year chapter as founder and artistic director of Luna Negra Dance Theater in Chicago, his career brought him back to Ballet Hispánico as artistic director in 2009 - becoming the second person ever to head the company since its founding - and CEO in 2015. Born in Cuba and raised in New York, Eduardo not only shaped the company's contemporary style but has also expanded its reach. We talked about his career and his approach to carrying Ballet Hispánico's legacy forward. He also shared what he learned from Tina, a trailblazer in New York's ballet community, and what it means to connect his community with this art form and tell stories through dance that resonate across generations. He spoke about why dance is an important vehicle for Latino artists to honor their heritage and explore their identities. Check it out!

Dance Talk” ® with Joanne Carey and special guest, Artistic Director & CEO, Eduardo Vilaro, Ballet Hispánico.  In this episode of “Dance Talk” ® with Joanne Carey, join host Joanne Carey as she chats with Special Guest, Eduardo Vilaro, who sits at the head of Ballet Hispánico, leading the organization into its 55th year as a world-class organization with a spirit of love, grace and humility. This engaging and beautiful conversation explores the history of Ballet Hispánico, Mr. Vilaro's story of emigrating from Cuba at 6 years old, his career, his love for his culture, life and the art form along with his continued commitment to making the life and experience of the community around him purposeful and beautiful. Eduardo Vilaro is the Artistic Director & CEO of Ballet Hispánico (BH). He was named BH's Artistic Director in 2009, becoming only the second person to head the company since its founding in 1970, and in 2015 was also named Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Vilaro has infused Ballet Hispánico's legacy with a bold brand of contemporary dance that reflects America's changing cultural landscape. Mr. Vilaro's philosophy of dance stems from a basic belief in the power of the arts to change lives, reflect and impact culture, and strengthen community. He considers dance to be a liberating, non-verbal language through which students, dancers, and audiences of all walks of life and diverse backgrounds, can initiate ongoing conversations about the arts, expression, identity, and the meaning of community. Born in Cuba and raised in New York from the age of six, Mr. Vilaro's own choreography is devoted to capturing the Latin American experience in its totality and diversity, and through its intersectionality with other diasporas. A Ballet Hispánico dancer and educator from 1988 to 1996, he left New York, earned a master's in interdisciplinary arts at Columbia College Chicago and then embarked on his own act of advocacy with a ten-year record of achievement as Founder and Artistic Director of Luna Negra Dance Theater in Chicago. The recipient of numerous awards and accolades, Mr. Vilaro received the Ruth Page Award for choreography in 2001; was inducted into the Bronx Walk of Fame in 2016; and was awarded HOMBRE Magazine's 2017 Arts & Culture Trailblazer of the Year. In 2019, he received the West Side Spirit's WESTY Award, was honored by WNET for his contributions to the arts, and was the recipient of the James W. Dodge Foreign Language Advocate Award. In August 2020, City & State Magazine included Mr. Vilaro in the inaugural Power of Diversity: Latin 100 list. In January 2021, Mr. Vilaro was recognized with a Compassionate Leaders Award, given to leaders who are courageous, contemplative, collaborative, and care about the world they will leave behind. He is a well-respected speaker on such topics as diversity, equity, and inclusion in the arts, as well as on the merits of the intersectionality of cultures and the importance of nurturing and building Latinx leaders.

Meet Michelle Manzanales, a dancer and choreographer who studied finance but chose to develop a career in Dance despite the financial insecurity associated with artistic careers. Michelle was born and raised in Houston, TX to a Mexican-american family. She started dancing at age 3, and has not stopped since. Michelle graduate with a degree in finance from the University of Houston, and tried to have a stable career in the field, but she was always a dancer at heart.  After a couple of years in the financial sector, Michelle decided that she was going to pursue a career as a dancer, and although she didn't become a multimillionaire, she was always financially independent.  Michelle talks about her experience growing up, not feeling proud of her Mexican heritage. It was not until later in life, that she began exploring what being “Ni de aquí, ni de allá” means. Dance has helped Michelle explore that in-between world, and now considers it an asset.  She is now, the director of Ballet Hispánico's School of Dance. As a teacher and choreographer, Michelle's goal is for students to feel safe to show up as their authentic selves, and helps them explore their roots and/or learn more about the Latin culture.  Michelle also discussed the many transferable skills dancers learn throughout their careers, such as problem-solving, courage, and dealing with rejection. She also has a message for parents of dancers who may be worried about their children's future:  “Fear more that your child isn't learning those base skills more than fearing them studying the arts”  Learn more about Ballet Hispánico here: https://www.ballethispanico.org/ Leave a review:  Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/latinx-can/id1524232753  Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/latinx-can-1354080

Hello, TA PODience. When we posted Act 1 of Episode 52, we noted that we realize that there is a lot going on in the world and want to acknowledge the continued shared traumas we're experiencing here and globally. Unfortunately, the same sentiment remains true as we post the second half of this two-part discussion. We truly hope that your takeaway from our newest installment is one of calm, joy and a celebration of the power of the arts. In Act 2 of Episode 52: “Shattering the Box,” Courtney continues her conversation with Michelle Manzanales, Director of Ballet Hispánico's School of Dance. If Act 1 was centered on treating this fraught pandemic time as a moment for reinventing, restructuring and reimagining, this one expands the conversation around impact to an even warmer, thoughtful discussion about intentional approaches to arts learning. At the heart of this chat is that, at its very core, engaging kids through the arts is about joy—access to joy—and how dance specifically can harness that. In one instance, Michelle notes that it's magical to witness someone find the confidence, the courage, the strength to access their freedom and joy, and to be able to stand up straight, chest out and chin up through dance. They discuss further the impact not only on the self, the internal impact and external effects of engaging in the arts, but also how those positive, impactful moments can ripple out into the world, effecting positive change. So, how does this conversation conclude? You'll have to listen to find out! We thank you for listening. Take care of yourself and each other. Until next time, and with love and gratitude, the TA with CJB #PodSquad.

Hello, TA PODience. We realize that there is a lot going on in the world and want to acknowledge the continued shared traumas we're experiencing here and globally. We hope that our newest episode, which is centered around the themes of creativity, self-expression and living one's truth will bring some much-needed hope and joy into your spaces. In our newest two-parter, Episode 52: “Shattering the Box,” Courtney sits down in a Zoom space with Michelle Manzanales, Director of Ballet Hispánico's School of Dance since 2016. Courtney and Michelle's thoughtful, feel-good conversation is one for the moment in which they discuss how this pandemic time, while fraught, has been a time of reinventing, restructuring and reimagining, particularly for arts organizations. Over the past two years we, as artists and arts administrators, have expanded the ways in which we can do our work, create art and collaborate (e.g., remote work means the potential for finding new creative spaces like parks, the street and even subways). They also discuss the emotional impact of the arts on kids, noting the visual inspiration that comes from being present in the magical spaces in which kids are seeing live performing arts, like change in posture and the glimmer in a child's eye. They then draw direct connections to their own childhoods asking: What might it have been like if the programming we now work in existed when we were younger? Where would we be? The conversation segues into one that is quite personal and poignant, especially in today's world—a conversation about racism and societal assimilation vs. cultural appreciation and what it means to have a true understanding of one's culture and standing in it with pride and conviction. So, how does this conversation thread all of those thoughts together? You've gotta listen to find out!

Listeners, we're back this week with Eduardo Vilaro.Eduardo Vilaro is the Artistic Director & CEO of Ballet Hispánico (BH). He was named BH's Artistic Director in 2009, becoming only the second person to head the company since its founding in 1970, and in 2015 was also named Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Vilaro has infused Ballet Hispánico's legacy with a bold brand of contemporary dance that reflects America's changing cultural landscape.Mr. Vilaro's philosophy of dance stems from a basic belief in the power of the arts to change lives, reflect and impact culture, and strengthen community. He considers dance to be a liberating, non-verbal language through which students, dancers and audiences of all walks of life and diverse backgrounds, can initiate ongoing conversations about the arts, expression, identity and the meaning of community.Born in Cuba and raised in New York from the age of six, Mr. Vilaro's own choreography is devoted to capturing the Latin American experience in its totality and diversity, and through its intersectionality with other diasporas. His works are catalysts for new dialogues about what it means to be an American. He has created more than 40 ballets with commissions that include the Ravinia Festival, the Chicago Sinfonietta, the Grant Park Festival, the Lexington Ballet and the Chicago Symphony.A Ballet Hispánico dancer and educator from 1988 to 1996, he left New York, earned a master's in interdisciplinary arts at Columbia College Chicago and then embarked on his own act of advocacy with a ten-year record of achievement as Founder and Artistic Director of Luna Negra Dance Theater in Chicago.The recipient of numerous awards and accolades, Mr. Vilaro received the Ruth Page Award for choreography in 2001; was inducted into the Bronx Walk of Fame in 2016; and was awarded HOMBRE Magazine's 2017 Arts & Culture Trailblazer of the Year. In 2019, he received the West Side Spirit's WESTY Award, was honored by WNET for his contributions to the arts and was the recipient of the James W. Dodge Foreign Language Advocate Award. In August 2020, City & State Magazine included Mr. Vilaro in the inaugural Power of Diversity: Latin 100 list. In January 2021, Mr. Vilaro was recognized with a Compassionate Leaders Award, given to leaders who are courageous, contemplative, collaborative, and care about the world they will leave behind. He is a well-respected speaker on such topics as diversity, equity, and inclusion in the arts, as well as on the merits of the intersectionality of cultures and the importance of nurturing and building Latinx leaders. During our conversation, we talked about:Coming from Cuba as a 5 year oldGrowing up in the BronxFiguring out he wanted to be a performerFocusing on his ultimate goal despite the opportunities that presented themselvesThe power of danceMachismoAnd so much more! This  episode is brought to you by JustGYVGYV is about more than just giving, it is more than a verb, more than an acronym.|The sophistication and strength of the Mesoamerican culture are infused into every luxurious fragrance and personal care product designed by GYV Mesoamerican Beauty.

Ballet Hispánico is one of America's cultural treasures. Founded in 1970 as a community-based performing arts troupe, the nonprofit has grown into a world-class institution whose dancers have performed before millions throughout the United States and abroad. The Revolución talks with CEO and Artistic Director Eduardo Vilaro about his experience as an immigrant from Cuba, how he started with Ballet Hispánico as a dancer, and the way the organization connects with audiences during the Covid-19 pandemic through a virtual program called #BUnidos.

I have had the chance to interview the soulful and jubilant Eduardo Vilaro, CEO and Artistic Director at Ballet Hispánico, twice in 2020.  We had the opportunity to chat in March and again in December, bookending a problematic year. And earlier this month, I had the honor to introduce him as a recipient of a Compassionate Leader of the Year Award in the category of arts, entertainment and sports. He has led his organization through the turbulence of 2020 with grace while attributing much of the credit for his abilities to his training as a dancer.

You are listening to the forty-seventh episode of Voc/zes: el podcast de la U de M. Two weeks ago, over 500 U of M Spanish 1004 students and their instructors took advantage of the Northrop Across Campus program to attend the Ballet Hispánico's (NYC) performance on October 4, 2018. So, naturally, Liz & Steph brought their faithful recorders to the performance and spoke with students and instructors as they made their way into the theater. The show was ¡espectacular! ótimo! The following day Steph and our Brazilian colleague, Marilena Mattos, returned to Northrop to interview two of the company's dancers, Lyvan Verdecia, originally from Cuba, and Dandara Veiga of Brazil. Follow along to hear more!

We start with a tribute to Peruvian painter Fernando de Szyszlo. Then, we learn about the work of dance company Ballet Hispánico and Thalia Hispanic Theater latest play Reinas de la Noche. We end with episode 5 of our docu-fiction series “I am a dreamer."

“Once I left college, I was still trying to figure out what I wanted to do. And I think for a lot of “former dancers” that becomes an issue, because when you’ve put every fibre of your being into your art form since whenever you started – at 3, 5, 13, or whatever – ballet is all-encompassing in a way that can be compared to training to become a professional athlete, or a professional musician. It takes up everything in you mentally, physically, emotionally and beyond. So when you lose that part of your identity, in a way it’s really hard to recalibrate… College becomes a buffer in a way, and when you exit that scene it can be hard to really figure out who you are, and there isn’t really a whole lot of time to do it because everyone around you is going to med school or law school or doing banking… and you’re kind of grappling with who you were, who you are and who you want to be.” Claudia Schreier is a choreographer who has been commissioned by organizations including the Vail Dance Festival, New York Choreographic Institute, and Joffrey Winning Works and has upcoming commissions with Ballet Hispánico and Dance Theatre of Harlem. But there was a time before all these accolades when she was working 9 to 5 in arts management, and finding time to create ballet on the side.  Claudia and I met in 2015 when my choir, Tapestry, sang behind Claudia’s dancers for her piece Vigil (which you can watch here!). It’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever had the privilege of helping to create. This was also one of the pieces that helped Claudia to launch her choreography career. Since 2015, Claudia Schreier & Company has presented several evening-length performances of her choreography and in 2017 made its Joyce Theater debut, featuring dancers from New York City Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, Miami City Ballet, and other leading companies.  In today’s episode, Claudia and I chatted about how she became a professional choreographer and where her work has come in the last few years. A few key themes that came up in our conversation were: The importance of academic pursuits to balance artistic pursuits. The benefits (and necessity) of working in arts management while building your artistic career Learning how to take care of yourself while giving 110% to your art when the work starts to pick up. Ms. Schreier serves as Ballet Master and Rehearsal Associate to Damian Woetzel and has contributed to The Kennedy Center Honors and programs at the White House, Jazz at Lincoln Center, and New York City Center. She is the recipient of the 2017 Virginia B. Toulmin Fellowship at the Center for Ballet and the Arts at NYU and the 2017 Lotos Foundation Prize, and she received a B.A. from Harvard University in 2008.
