This week we are joined by Tara Ghassemieh, Principal dancer with Golden State Ballet. Tara talks with us as she discovers her place within the world of ballet and uncovers a forgotten piece of Iranian history. She tells us about her film 'Persian Swan' which is her tribute to the Iranian National Ballet and how this mission has evolved onto the stage with 'The White Feather.' If you are in the Southern California area, see 'The White Feather, A Persian Ballet Tale' June 29th at The Eli and Edythe Broad Stage in Santa Monica. Tickets are available on EventBrite.
