There is no greater honor than to be chosen to serve a community through one’s greatest passion. Dance, through its infinite forms and rhythms, has always instilled me with the desire to heal, to feel, and to see. To have received such a gift and have the opportunity to share it with the DanceAfrica family is beyond exciting. It is truly a Divine Blessing! Since performing in the first DanceAfrica in 1977, I have received 38 years of inspiration, joy, light, and knowledge. Africa and its worldwide diaspora have shared the gifts of an ancient and contemporary civilization whose cultures have been and continue to be dynamic! Africa was and continues to be the wellspring from which we have drawn and will draw, as our thirst for its healing waters of life is eternal. Africa is our great ancestor, whose first language was gesture, movement, and ultimately dance, with all of its infinite rhythms. Africa and the dance and music of its diaspora are ancient and traditional, present and contemporary—visionary and the future. We at BAM search for tradition and innovation in Africa that will inspire us to create programs to entertain, provoke thought, and hopefully encourage positive, healing change. This year, from Senegal, we welcome Les Ballets de la Renaissance Africaine “WAATO SiiTA” and Compagnie Tenane, and Senegal’s mother of contemporary dance, Germaine Acogny. To Dyane Harvey, Reverend Nafisa Sharriff, and the youngsters of the BAM DanceAfrica Restoration Ensemble and the DanceAfrica Alumni Ensemble, it is a joy to welcome you back to this feast of mind, movement, and rhythm! I give thanks and praise to the Elders and our Ancestors! To Mama Joan Miller, my dance mother, and to Baba Chuck Davis, my African dance father, whose mentorship and guidance helped me lay the foundation of the vision upon which I now build, I give thanks and praise. To the creative team and everyone at BAM, here we go! Join us as we embark on this journey to the land of what was, what is, and what can be… DanceAfrica! Health, prosperity, love, and peace to you all, Baba Abdel R. Salaam, Artistic Director, DanceAfrica 2016 DanceAfrica 2016—PROGRAM NOTES SENEGAL: DOORS OF ANCIENT FUTURES Inspired by Baba Abdel R. Salaam’s vision of The Door of No Return during his first journey to Senegal in 1978 and his subsequent return in 2015, Senegal: Doors of Ancient Futures seeks to illuminate and unite visions of Senegal—past and present, rural and urban—with potential for the future.

  • 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.

  • Window Dancing
    In Memoriam Harold Francis McKinney May 28, 1917 – November 7, 2006 The Talented Tenth “The problem of education, then, among Negroes must first of all deal with the Talented Tenth: it is the problem of developing the best of this race that they may guide the mass away from the contamination of the worst, in their own and other races.” W.E.B. DuBois FOREWORD Generations “A term referring to an approximation between the age of parents and the time their children were born.” The issue is, what has ensued during the generational time span of 20-25 years and how prepared were and are parents to provide the necessary educational, emotional, spiritual, physical and economic assets required for the development of the oncoming generations? What have been the experiences, accomplishments and perhaps inabilities of the parent generation and how will this equation impact upon the newcomers entering the world? The constant quest for human development is hopefully not supplanted by neglect, per- sonal or societal and therefore the challenge for each generation; are they prepared for their “turn” at the wheel of anticipated progress? How does each generation cope with the accomplishments and deficiencies from the previ- ous generation, when the baton is passed to the next group competing in the relay race of human existence? Despite the challenge of societal imbalance to the generations, hope and effort remain the constant vision leading to improvement accompanied and reinforced by determination and possible occurrences of “good luck,” to assist the generations and their offspring, neigh- bors and other members of the human family, towards as high a societal level as possible, in order to preserve, protect and project the present and succeeding generations into posi- tions of leverage thereby enabling them to confront the vicissitudes of life, manmade or otherwise.

  • Newsletter 2004/2005
    THE FASSBINDER FOUNDATION Newsletter 2004/2005 Dear Friends, Partners, Followers and Supporters of RWFF and FF Inc., Since we did not send out a Newsletter last year we thought we should not delay in sending you this year's Newsletter before the spring is out. To start with, there is one especially good piece of news: we have "modernized" our website. In future, you will be able to find the latest reports and information at www.fassbinderfoundation.de under the heading NEWS. The German version is running since March 1, 2005, the English version will be ready shortly, and the French version from April 1, 2005 on. It is not only past events which we have cause to celebrate. We were particularly delighted to move offices in December 2003 to our new base at Giesebrechtstrasse 7, which is in the Berlin district of Charlottenburg not far from the Kurfürstendamm. Our new premises have been specially designed for our needs, and the move was organized so impeccably by our employee and Curator Dr. Daniel Kletke, who heads up logistics and coordination, that just one day after the official moving date, we were able to resume daily business. Since 2000 –and thus also last year –the focus of our work has been on the development and prepa- ration of our extensive RWF manuscript archive as well as preparations for releasing further Fass- binder films on DVD. With 24 titles having been released in the USA to date, this year we are launch- ing DVD editions in France, Belgium, Spain and Japan. From April 2005, the titles of sets 3 and 4 al- ready announced by e-m-s will be continued by Kinowelt Home Entertainment under the Arthaus label.

  • Fassbinder Rétrospective 11 Avril – 16 Mai
    RAINER WERNER FASSBINDER RÉTROSPECTIVE 11 AVRIL – 16 MAI Lola, une femme allemande 66 LE MONDE COMME VOLONTÉ ET REPRÉSENTATION Venu du théâtre, auteur d’une imposante œuvre cinématographique et télé- visuelle interrompue par sa mort prématurée, Fassbinder a été l’une des plus puissantes figures du nouveau cinéma allemand. Ses films dénoncent un certain état de la société allemande, sa violence de classes et le refoulé de son passé nazi. « Pas d’utopie est une utopie. » Rainer Werner Fassbinder, 1971 Rainer Werner Fassbinder comparait sa filmographie à une maison. Les mauvaises langues sont tentées d’orner l’entrée de l’édifice d’un dantesque « Désespoir », en anglais Despair – comme son adaptation du roman éponyme de Vladimir Nabokov (1978). C’est oublier, au-delà de la chape de plomb existentielle associée à son ciné- RAINER WERNER FASSBINDER WERNER RAINER ma (Années 70 ! Papier peint brunâtre !), que le sous-titre de Despair était Voyage vers la lumière. Tendue entre ciel et terre, la beauté mélancolique de l’œuvre de Fassbinder est celle d’un cinéma de l’utopie, sous le sceau du rimbaldien « Je est un autre » qu’un personnage lâche dans sa pièce L’Ordure, la Ville et la Mort. L’archétype du personnage fassbinderien se projette, rêve d’une âme frère/sœur avec qui il ne ferait qu’un, son double, son reflet mais aussi (et surtout) son bour- reau. « Chaque homme tue ce qu’il aime », chantait Jeanne Moreau dans Querelle. Le coup de foudre entre le personnage-titre de Martha et son futur époux, traité comme un ballet de poupées mécaniques, témoigne de la ferveur fantasmatique dans laquelle le protagoniste fassbindérien se noie par amour et pour cette utopie.
