Eyes On The Prize Hallowed Ground
Director Sophie Nahli Alison
Americans and to others as producers and writers, creative and management talent. They will bring their own stories and passions that will, after experimentation, failures and second opportunities, succeed. …-Henry Hampton’s 1992 PBS Annual Meeting Keynote Speech
Theater
In 2021, as theaters were beginning to open back up the New York Theatre Workshop revamped the production of Sanctuary City by Martyna Majok.
Carte Blanche
In 2021, Dance on film with virtual programs or performances that had social distancing in place became the norm. From Mount Airy, PA where Dream Chapters was presented in an old carriage house, Kyle Abraham’s “When We Fell,” produced by the NYC Ballet, The Fringe Festival 2021 Jessica C. Warchal-King Dance Lab, and Alvin Ailey’s “Revelations Through the Years,” streamed virtually. Like, The Annenberg Center’s (Penn Live Arts) 2021 virtual season- Martha Graham Dance Company, Mathew Neenan’s “Re-Entering,” and “Kun-Yang Lin and Dancers” inspired new designs for dance. And, the Live Jazz concert took my particular interest into a research paper on the The American Musical Theater and Jazz Music in America in creating a graphic preview of Somi Kakoma at the Crossing the Line Festival at L’Alliance New York.
