UCSC Theater Arts professor Mark Franko moderated a roundtable discussion titled “Rights to Move: Choreographing the Human Rights Struggle,” at The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center in October.
 
The panel discussed the role of dance in human rights struggles as seen through the work of such renowned dance artists as William Forsythe and Bill T. Jones.
 
The event was part of a comprehensive series of free public programs produced each year by The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts in its Bruno Walter Auditorium.
 
Participants included Leah Cox (dancer, Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company), Thomas Keenan (Director of the Human Rights Project, Bard College), and Kendall Thomas (Director, Center for the Study of Law and Culture, Columbia University School of Law).
