A Message in Dance That Challenges, Inspires and Liberates

This year’s Wild Reed “Queer Appreciation” series focuses on the grace, verve and message of British dancer Kadeem Hosein (known as Kadeem En Pointe).

It’s a message that is challenging, inspiring and liberating. Which makes it queer in the truest sense of the word (as I discuss in the first installment of this series).

It’s a queerness that continues in this second (and concluding) installment. Enjoy!
