Originally published in California Arts and Architecture, August 1941 and reprinted in Kaiso!: Writings by and about Katherine Dunham (2005). Copyright © 2005 by Katherine Dunham. Used by permission of the Estate of Katherine Dunham. Katherine Dunham (1909–2006) What a life! Katherine Dunham was a formidable dancer, an irre- pressible choreographer, a driven social activist, a groundbreaking ethnologist and anthropologist, a serial autobiographer, an interna- tional star, an inspiration, a scandal (banned in Boston!), and a model for generations of African American performers. It’s surprising that she found time to die, even if it was at the age of ninety- six. She starred as Georgia Brown in George Balanchine’s Broadway musical Cabin in the Sky, the show that Ethel Waters stopped with “Taking a Chance on Love.” (Lena Horne played Georgia in the movie.) She went on a forty- seven-day hunger strike to protest American policies toward Haitian refugees. (Speaking of Haiti, she became a priestess of the Vaudon reli- gion there.) She choreographed a new production of Aïda at the Met, featuring Leontyne Price. For decades, she toured the world with her Katherine Dunham Dance Company, mostly performing revues she created with names like Bal Nègre and Caribbean Rhapsody. (Danc- ers affiliated with Dunham’s company include Eartha Kitt, Janet Col- lins, and Talley Beatty.) She married the artist and scenic designer John Pratt, her collaborator on her shows as well, and they adopted a French baby.

  • Welcome Letter 2013 Samuel H. Scripps American Dance Festival
    Welcome Letter 2013 Samuel H. Scripps American Dance Festival Award Lin Hwai-min The ADF wishes to thank the late Samuel H. Scripps, whose generosity made possible the annual $50,000 Samuel H. Scripps American Dance Festival Award. The Award was established in 1981 as the first of its kind and honors chorographers who have dedicated their lives and talent to the creation of modern dance. The continuation of the award is made possible through the SHS Foundation and its President, Richard E. Feldman. Celebrated choreographer, director, and educator Lin Hwai-min will be presented with the 2013 Award by Joseph V. Melillo in a special ceremony on Saturday, July 27th at 8:00 pm, prior to the Forces of Dance performance at the Durham Performing Arts Center. The program will also include a performance of the solo from Lin Hwai-min’s 1998 work Moon Water, performed by Cloud Gate Dance Theatre dancer Chou Chang-ning. Mr. Lin’s fearless zeal for the art form has established him as one of the most dynamic and innovative choreographers today. His illustrious career as a choreographer has spanned over four decades and has earned him international praise for his impact on Chinese modern dance. He is the founder, choreographer, and artistic director of both Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan (founded in 1973) and Cloud Gate 2 (founded in 1992), and his choreography continues to be presented throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia. While his works often draw inspiration from traditional elements of Asian culture and aesthetics, his choreographic brilliance continues to push boundaries and redefine the art form.

The change from an agrarian to an industrial society in the second half of the 19th century was significantly reflected in the Centennial Exhibition held in Philadelphia's Fairmount Park in 1876. Respond- ing to the view of a future shaped by technology and mass produc- tion, a group of citizens met to establish the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art, under a charter approved February 27, 1876, by the Court of Common Pleas No. 3 of Philadelphia under December Term, 1875, No. 1041. The institution received per- mission from the State Centennial Supervisors, the Fairmount Park Commissioners and the City to take possession of Memorial Hall at the close of the exhibition in November, 1876, which housed the museum part of the operation until it was moved to the present building on the Parkway.

  • Informance 2008
    INFORMANCE - MARCH 26, 2008 How can we know the dancer from the dance?” – Martha Graham, Murray Louis, and Bill T. Jones I begin this Informance talk by thanking Linda Roberts and Lori Katterhenry. In early November (the 9th, to be exact), Lori asked me if -- in view of my “obvious enthusiasm and expertise” -- I would be interested in writing study guides for the three guest artist works of the 2007-08 MSU Dance Program: Steps in the Street, by Martha Graham; Four Brubeck Pieces, by Murray Louis; and D-Man in the Waters by Bill T. Jones. “We have never done this before,” Lori said, “and I know it is quite common in theater.” …“Great idea,” Linda Roberts declared the next day, “This information would be very useful for the Informance. I know the students are interested in discussing the movement philosophies and stylistic differences of the three choreographers, and the challenges these elements present in performing and bringing to life the reconstructed dances we are rehearsing.” A few days thereafter, Lori , Linda and I were brainstorming in Lori’s spacious executive office suite and I cautioned them that I was not a dance critic by training; I am an historian and biographer. They were well aware, and that was precisely the reason they asked me to become involved. They were looking for insights about the “historical” side to each work, the social and cultural circumstances that engendered them, the aesthetic contexts against which they were created. I then said that I was not sure I would end up doing actual “study guides,” per se.

However, in the earlier decades of the twentieth century black women were daily deflecting slings and arrows thrown at them from all sides. Arising out of this milieu of adversity were Josephine Baker, Katherine Dunham, and Pearl Primus, performing artists whose success depended upon a willingness to innovate, to adapt to changing times, and to recognize and seize opportunities when and where they arose. Baker introduced her performing skills to New York audiences in the 1920s, followed by Dunham in the 1930s, and Primus in the 1940s. Although these decades resulted in an outpouring of cultural and artistic experimentation, for performing artists daring to cross traditional boundaries of gender and race, the obstacles were significant.

  • Philharmonic Hall Lincoln Center F O R T H E Performing Arts
    PHILHARMONIC HALL LINCOLN CENTER F O R T H E PERFORMING ARTS 1968-1969 MARQUEE The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center is Formed A new PERFORMiNG-arts institution, The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, will begin its first season of con­ certs next October with a subscription season of 16 concerts in eight pairs, run­ ning through early April. The estab­ lishment of a chamber music society completes the full spectrum of perform­ ing arts that was fundamental to the original concept of Lincoln Center. The Chamber Music Society of Lin­ coln Center will have as its home the Center’s new Alice Tully Hall. This intimate hall, though located within the new Juilliard building, will be managed by Lincoln Center as an independent Wadsworth Carmirelli Treger public auditorium, with its own entrance and box office on Broadway between 65th and 66th Streets. The hall, with its 1,100 capacity and paneled basswood walls, has been specifically designed for chamber music and recitals. The initial Board of Directors of the New Chamber Music Society will com­ prise Miss Alice Tully, Chairman; Frank E. Taplin, President; Edward R. Ward­ well, Vice-President; David Rockefeller, Jr., Treasurer; Sampson R. Field, Sec­ retary; Mrs. George A. Carden; Dr. Peter Goldmark; Mrs. William Rosen- wald and Dr. William Schuman. The Chamber Music Society is being organ­ ized on a non-profit basis and, like other cultural institutions, depends upon voluntary contributions for its existence. Charles Wadsworth has been ap­ pointed Artistic Director of The Cham­ ber Music Society of Lincoln Center. The Society is the outgrowth of an in­ tensive survey of the chamber music field and the New York chamber music audience, conducted by Mr.
