What's Good Family! I'm excited to share a fantastic conversation with renowned choreographer Jennifer Archibald. Jennifer's "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" ballet is currently premiering at the Richmond Ballet until November 6th (this Sunday).

"Inspired by the iconic 1967 film of the same name, Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner addresses the intolerances faced by interracial couples and highlights the fortitude, simplicity, and beauty of love. Set to music by soul legends such as Donny Hathaway and Ray Charles, this world premiere will breathe new life into a vintage Hollywood story." - RichmondBallet.com

Jennifer and I talk about the ballet's creation, her inspiration, and her vision for the audience. We also discuss diversity within ballet and attracting a non-traditional audience to the art.
