Karim Baer is the executive director of Alonzo King LINES Ballet. He is passionate about using art to inspire personal and social transformation. He believes that we have a biological need for nonlinear experiences. Collective experiences to experience awe and wonder are important for individuals and communities.

Art is a transformative practice that is essential to health and well being. We need regular nonlinear experiences.
