Leveling the Playing Field: Strategies to Improve Equity and Inclusion in Dance Auditions
Swihart, Melanie C.; Gorsuch, Carmen E.
Arts Education Policy Review, v124 n4 p259-265 2023
We contend that improvements are needed in current dance audition practices in higher education regarding inclusivity, equitability, and diversity. As a case study, we critically evaluated and modified audition practices at Ball State University with a specific goal to generate strategies and future considerations that provide a more inclusive, equitable, and diverse audition experience. Findings showed that current audition practices at Ball State, with the re-ordering and inclusion of West African dance forms, positively impacted the audition experience for students overall, and the examination of our audition practices, past and present, has provided ample information to consider for future dance auditions at large. Strategies and considerations presented aim to aid educators and institutions to provide equal opportunity and a more inclusive and diverse audition experience.
