DDP Talks To… Zoë Ashe-Browne and Emma Lister About Dancer Mental Health

Content warning: body image, eating distress, and mental health

This DDP Talks To… takes a deeper dive into the survey conducted by Zoë Ashe-Browne and Emma Lister through their podcast MOVERS SHAKERS MAKERS on dancer mental health. In this second installment, topics including body image, eating distress, self-worth, and identity are addressed as they tie into the experiences of dancers in ballet schools and professional ballet companies.

In May, DDP released the first interview of this two part series.  Part 1 focused on the Best Practices and Guidelines for Ballet and Dance School Safety, a checklist DDP helped put together, as well as a Student Safety, Sexual Assault, & Harassment Links and Resources document practical use.  You can watch Part 1 here.
