Kennedy Center fires dance team

Kennedy Center fires dance team

In ongoing turmoil at the Washington DC performing arts center, director of dance programming Jane Raleigh and two of her staff were fired just before the weekend.

According to the NY Times, they had been ordered by Trump appointee Richard Grenell to propose programming that was more ‘broadly appealing’ and less ‘niche’. He mentioned a TV game show by way of example. Later, the three staff were removed from the building by security staff.
