It is narrow-minded and prejudice to ignore ANY segment of "performing" art just because it is more modern-day. I applaud the Kennedy Center for having the insight and courage to grow and expand by recognizing there is so much more to the arts than those areas that existed at the time of its inception.
VA, I read your comment at the end of the article and you really hit the nail on the head! I must say that the writer comes across as a member of the limo-riding, designer-wearing, dripping-in-jewels segment of society who have the misguided belief that it's their responsibility and right to decide what qualifies as art. I have little respect for folks like that.
