Gilbert Bolden III: Making the Suit That Suits You
Gilbert Bolden III is a newly minted principal dancer with New York City Ballet, a designer, choreographer, and an artist who brings joy, fluidity, and individuality into everything he does. Earlier this year, he ruptured his Achilles mid Scotch Symphony- but instead of spiralling into crisis, Gilbert met the moment with calm, humour, and an almost shocking amount of perspective.
In this episode, we start right where he is today, and then trace the path that brought him here: dancing to Britney in his living room, discovering ballet later than most, rising through the ranks at NYCB, navigating identity inside a traditional institution, and building an entire creative world outside of dance - from drag to fashion to choreography.
Through it all, Gilbert shows us what it looks like to stay grounded, stay yourself, and keep enjoying your life, no matter what chapter you’re in.
