Alison M. Friedman writes: “I’m into my third year ‘from China to Carolina,’ leading Carolina Performing Arts at UNC Chapel Hill after 20 years in Beijing and Hong Kong. Last year we launched our video series Athletes are Artists / Artists are Athletes. The first features prior UNC men’s basketball player Caleb Love and Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater dancer Michael Jackson Jr. showing off the height and hangtime of leaps and layups. The second video features UNC women’s soccer star Sam Meza with MacArthur Genius grant winning tap dancer Michelle Dorrance, showing off percussive kicks and fancy footwork. This initiative is a celebration of common ground between the sports world and the arts world. In this series, we bring this intersection to life, intensifying appreciation for both spheres. Game recognizes game!”
