    A Love/Hate Story in Black and White Directed by Lou Bellamy A Penumbra Theatre Company Production October 19 – November 12, 2017 ©2017 Penumbra Theatre Company Wedding Band Penumbra’s 2017-2018 Season: Crossing Lines A Letter from the Artistic Director, Sarah Bellamy Fifty years ago a young couple was thrust into the national spotlight because they fought for their love to be recognized. Richard and Mildred Loving, aptly named, didn’t intend to change history—they just wanted to protect their family. They took their fight to the highest court and with Loving v. The State of Virginia, the Supreme Court declared anti-miscegenation law unconstitutional. The year was 1967. We’re not far from that fight. Even today interracial couples and families are met with curiosity, scrutiny, and in this racially tense time, contempt. They represent an anxiety about a breakdown of racial hierarchy in the U.S. that goes back centuries. In 2017 we find ourselves defending progress we never imagined would be imperiled, but we also find that we are capable of reaching beyond ourselves to imagine our worlds anew. This season we explore what happens when the boundlessness of love meets the boundaries of our identities. Powerful drama and provocative conversations will inspire us to move beyond the barriers of our skin toward the beating of our hearts. Join us to celebrate the courage of those who love outside the lines, who fight to be all of who they are, an in doing so, urge us to manifest a more loving, inclusive America. ©2017 Penumbra Theatre Company 2 Wedding Band Table of Contents Introductory Material ........................................................................................................................

Offering overblown fantasies of black power and heroism filmed on the sites of race rebellions of the late 1960s, blaxploitation films were objects of fierce debate among social leaders and commentators for the image of blackness they projected, in both its aesthetic character and its social and political utility. After some time spent as the "bad object" of African-American cinema history,[1] critical and theoretical interest in blaxploitation resurfaced in the 1990s, in part due to the way that its images-- and sounds--recirculated in contemporary film and music cultures. Since the early 1990s, a new generation of African-American filmmakers has focused

Himes grew to recognition in the 1940s as a writer of the Popular Front, and a pioneer of the era’s black ‘protest’ fiction. However, after falling out of domestic favour in the early 1950s, Himes emigrated to Paris, where he would go on to publish eight Harlem-set detective novels (1957-1969) for Gallimard’s La Série Noire.

The term comes from a Greek word meaning "action" (Classical Greek: drama), which is derived from the verb meaning "to do" or "to act‖. The enactment of drama in theatre, performed by actors on a stage before an audience, presupposes collaborative modes of production and a collective form of reception. The structure of dramatic texts, unlike other forms of literature, is directly influenced by this collaborative production and collective reception.

  • Belknap Collection for the Performing Arts - the AFRICAN-AMERICAN CINEMA COLLECTION
    AFRICAN-AMERICAN CINEMA CINEMA AFRICAN-AMERICAN CINEMA The history of the African-American Cinema is a harsh timeline of racism, repression and struggle contrasted with film scenes of boundless joy, hope and artistic spirit. Until recently, the study of the "separate cinema" (a phrase used by historians John Kisch and Edward Mapp to describe the segregation of the mainstream, Hollywood film community) was limited, if not totally ignored, by writers and researchers. The uphill battle by black filmmakers and performers, to achieve acceptance and respect, was an ugly blot on the pages of film history. Upon winning his Best Actor Oscar for LILLIES OF THE FIELD (1963), Sidney Poitier accepted, on behalf of the countless unsung African-American artists, by acknowledging the "long journey to this moment." This emotional, heartbreaking and inspiring journey is vividly illustrated by the latest acquisition to the Belknap Collection for the Performing Arts - THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN CINEMA COLLECTION. The valuable research material, housed in this collection, includes over 300 pressbooks (illustrated campaign and advertising catalogs sent to theatre owners), press kits (media packages including biographies, promotional essays and illustrations), programs and over 1000 photographs and slides. The journey begins with the blatant racism of D.W. Griffith's THE BIRTH OF A NATION (1915), a film respected as an epic milestone, but reviled as the blueprint for black film stereotypes that would appear throughout the 20th century. Researchers will follow African-American films through an extended period of stereotypical casting (SONG OF THE SOUTH, 1946) and will be dazzled by the glorious "All-Negro" musicals such as STORMY WEATHER (1943), ST.LOUIS BLUES (1958) and PORGY AND BESS (1959).

Contact: [email protected] Field, Allyson, Jan-Christopher Horak, Jacqueline Najuma Stewart, ed. L.A. Rebellion: Creating a New Black Cinema. (Berkeley: University of California Press) 2015. This set of essays chronicles the history of a diverse collective of black filmmakers that attended U.C.L.A. film school during the 1970s and 1980s and who set out to challenge over a century of Hollywood representations of blackness. While often different in subject and style, the L.A. Rebellion shared the common ambition “to perform the revolutionary act of humanizing Black people on screen.” To do so, this generation of film school trained black filmmakers worked to create “an alternative—in narrative, style, and practice—to dominant American mode of cinema.”(1) This book is a result of a larger 2009 U.C.L.A. Film & Television Archive project to restore, catalog, and exhibit dozens of films, short and feature-length, produced by this group of influential, but largely unknown filmmakers. L.A. Rebellion contextualizes the history of this important cinematic movement by emphasizing the time and place of its inception.

    From The Ground Up Grassroots Theater in Historical and Contemporary Perspective Edited by Dudley Cocke, Harry Newman, and Janet Salmons-Rue Community Based Arts Project Cornell University 1993 Editors' Note All reports of this kind are provisional. Time and space constraints have only allowed us to provide a sense of what the symposium was like and present its significant highlights. Though we have made every effort to be accurate in this, we can make no claim to being comprehensive. At the same time, the editors take full responsibility for any errors, omissions, or misinterpretations in the report and are happy to receive corrections. This report is dedicated to Edward Kamarck (1919 - 1992), who enthusiasti­ cally helped plan the symposium, but did not live to participate, and to his friend and mentor, Robert Gard (1910 -1992), who made his last presentation on grassroots theater at this gathering. The effect of the cultural bomb is to annihilate a people's belief in their names, in their languages, in their environment, in their heritage of struggle, in their unity, in their capacities, and ultimately in themselves. It makes them see their past as one wasteland of non-achievement and it makes them want to distance themselves from that wasteland. It makes them want to identify with that which is furthest removed from them­ selves; for instance, with other peoples' languages rather than their own. It makes them identify with that which is decadent and reactionary, all those forces which would stop their own springs of life. It even plants serious doubts about the moral rightness of struggle.

However, the emancipation proclamation and its following agreements did not alter the attitude of many citizens. President Lincoln The Birth of a Nation The Birth of Nation (1915), directed (1915) by D. W Griffith, is a very famous film. Birth is known for the editing and a lot of filmmakers study or show this particular film because of editing. Birth is the only film that prominently featured all of the black misrepresentations in black face, but had actual blacks on screen as slaves. Birth is the beginning of blackface on screen. D.W. Griffith Misrepresentation Misrepresentations of blacks is what Hollywood actually showed viewers. Black were seen as the toms, coons, mulattos, mammies, and bucks.
