dirac Posted September 4, 2022 Author Share Posted September 4, 2022 The choreography Rosie Kay explains why she resigned from her own dance troupe. Quote After she was exonerated she issued an apology for any upset she had caused and stressed the importance of respecting different viewpoints, but refused to apologise for her actual words. “I wasn’t going to apologise for my beliefs.” Yet she was warned some dancers might appeal and three weeks later a second investigation by an external HR company was launched. She handed in her notice because she was no longer convinced that she could be herself if she stayed. “I want to be free to talk about women’s rights and that shouldn’t be a reason to ruin anyone’s career.” Link to comment
