Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Ensemble Celebrates Dunham

03:13PM / Monday, February 23, 2009

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. – Dance great Katherine Dunham's centennial will be celebrated the last week of February with "Stalwart Originality: New Traditions in Black Performance."

A collaboration of Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts (MCLA Presents!), Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art and the '62 Center for Theatre and Dance at Williams College join forces to present a week of residency and performances with the Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Ensemble.

This international, cross-cultural, dance-arts and educational institution rooted in African-American traditions will perform the masterworks "Ragtime" and "Choros" by Katherine Dunham alongside works by Cleo Parker Robinson and others.

Dunham, a legend in dance, choreography, anthropology and political activism, was a leader in making black dance an art form in its own right, and was an influential pioneer for other great names in American black dance, such as Alvin Ailey and Arthur Mitchell.
