As Earl Mosley's Diversity of Dance continues to "cultivate, explore, collaborate, and grow together", join us in CELEBRATING all we do with these publications that share our organization's work, mission, and vision! We also fully acknowledge that there is so much more cultivation, exploration, collaborations, and growing together that we celebrate daily as well.
Seeing Dance
"Parts of the work [UNCONQUERED] consists of impactful vignettes inspired by the personal experiences of those who helped create it. It is often very charged. Yet, rather than painting a picture of people cowed and oppressed, its message is very much one of resilience. It emphasizes connection and community, a determination to be free, and how it is possible to rise above everything and express that freedom. I found it remarkably uplifting and a tribute to the human spirit."

"Not all art is intended to lull you into a state of bliss. Sometimes art will, and must, make you uncomfortable by challenging…During "Unconquered," Mosley was able to create moments of sheer dance beauty, even as he tackled tough topics that typically would obscure this beauty."

"Development is a crucial aspect of the EMIA dance program for students, no matter their level of experience, assistant director Sheryl Pollard Thomas said, and it is not limited to their moves on the stage. 'We try to incorporate as much professional development [as possible] so the students can feel safe within themselves and safe to communicate what they may be going through, what they're feeling and just to be honest.'"
