Paris Opera Ballet Dancers Condemn Leadership And Complain Of Harassment In Internal Survey

“The complaints were compiled in a survey conducted by Paris Opera Ballet’s internal ‘artistic expression commission’ and sent to 132 dancers. It found that some 77 per cent said they had either been a victim of harassment in the workplace or seen a colleague mistreated … The survey was also damning for dance director Aurélie Dupont as it found that almost 90 per cent of dancers felt that they ‘did not have a quality management’. ‘The current director doesn’t seem to have any management skills or any desire to acquire such skills,’ reportedly wrote one dancer.”
