Choreographer Maria Bauman on the importance of mentorship | Alvin Ailey New Directions

During an open rehearsal, Maria introduces her explorations around Black wealth, including mentorship. This dance piece uses the recorded voice of her mentor Dr. William R. Jones, who was a Black Liberation scholar, a theologian and philosopher.

Working with dancers at The Ailey School, choreographers Quilan “Cue” Arnold and Maria Bauman explore creative processes as part of the New Directions Choreography Lab, a residency founded by Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater’s Robert Battle, in this eight-part series by filmmaker Steven Tabakin.
