Judith Jamison: How Movement Can Express the Soul

Today’s guest is international superstar dancer/choreographer Judith Jamison. In 1964, at just 21 years old, Jamison made her dance debut in New York with the American Ballet Theater. She soon joined the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, eventually becoming the company’s principal dancer, then its artistic director, and, since 2011, she’s been artistic director emerita. Jamison shares her insights into the power of dance to facilitate connections between audience and performer that encourage both to flourish, as well as the links between the arts, community, challenges, joy, and human flourishing. It's all about how movement can express the soul.
