The Joffrey Ballet and Action Linesa video-production company founded by Joffrey artists Xavier Nunez and Dylan Gutierrez as well as writer/producer Eric Granthave unveiled a video filmed at the FDR Four Freedoms State Park (on New York City's Roosevelt Island) to mark Pride Month.
The video, "Bubble Gum Pop," follows a featured Joffrey artist as the person dances from one end of the park to the other, culminating on the steps of a massive Progress Paid flag.
Then, the dancer peels away layers of old costumes to represent the fluidity of sexual orientation, gender identity and personal expression.
