This week, Festival Director Anne Morris talks with Doug Singleton, the Executive Director for the Charlotte Ballet. Doug has been with the Charlotte Ballet since 1996, and the Executive Director since 2005. Doug has a long history in NC, and brings the perspective of a producer and presenter to the question of how to ensure a thriving future for the dance community. We’ll talk about how the Alvin Ailey Dance Company changed the course of his life, how Charlotte Ballet works to become a company of creatives, and what he thinks the key is to getting a dance audience to come back again and again.
