As the second semester at the Vancouver International Ballet Academy approaches, how will four maturing dancers face the new challenges that await them? The Vancouver International Ballet Academy has opened its doors after the winter break, and everyone is back! Julian is finding it difficult to concentrate on dance because of his family; his teachers think he could be great if he could just focus. Kaitlyn believes she’s the best dancer, but her body type is getting in the way of her (and her mother’s) dance ambitions, tempting her to lie. Alexandra is as focused as usual, but others don’t seem to understand how much time and energy she has to give to ballet if she wants to be the best. While Taylor is still criticized at VIBA, she’s getting a lot of positive attention from outside – especially from a recently retired Canadian ballerina who’s taken an interest in her and Julian. Who will get noticed in competition and the spring seminar? Whatever happens, someone’s going to lose and someone’s going to win.

A dispute plays out in the most unlikely situation as there are three voices ringing throughout the large white room with which their impassioned arguments can be heard. One voice is youthful, and as such the voice is tinged with a kind of optimism even in the face of such extraordinary circumstances. The other voice is wearisome, the experience of living a life endowed with reason and science, the end result being complete and utter disenchantment even in the face of the most fantastical and wondrous phenomena the human imagination can experience. The third voice is one whose power is accustomed to being lent to help others. Such is the case here, as they hope to effectively mediate the two voices in opposition with one another. All the while a luminous white door looms in their view almost as if it was a silent observer that happened to be privy to the words that boom throughout the room.

A bold step toward a new cultural narrative around sex Sex was supposed to be easy. It was supposed to be fun, liberating, and empowering for a girl who’d been brought up thinking the battle for sexual equality had been won. But for Nellwyn Lampert, losing her virginity would turn out to be anything but simple. Whether she was being confronted with porn-induced erectile dysfunction or other crises of masculinity, nothing went according to plan in the bedroom. Instead, Nellwyn had to learn to navigate the realities of sexual liberation, female empowerment, and masculinity all on her own. In this coming-of-age memoir, Nellwyn looks back on her experiences with humour and insight to explore what true liberation and empowerment may look like for today’s young women. Her many unexpected adventures will prompt reflection on a bigger question: What does it mean when our experiences fail to live up to who we think we should be as liberated, postmodern women?
