Event Details
“Glory Van Scott — dancer, actor, playwright, teacher and now autobiographer has given us a fierce and telling memoir of a woman whose talent, self-confidence and sheer bravado can inspire us all. There are never enough stories of strong women who have risen above the endemic sexism of show business to use all their gifts. Where does Glory’s self confidence and energy come from? In this book you will learn of the great women in her family who came before her, of her cousin Emmett Till whose death from racism is an unforgettable lesson for all Americans and of the propulsive hope that enables excellence. Glory has worked with all the greats: George Balanchine, Katherine Dunham, Agnes De Mille. She has that rare ability to learn from everyone and to say no when her artistic intuition tells her to. “Yes” is important but sometimes “no” is even more crucial. I admire her talent, guts and passion.” — Erica Jong

Event Details
Join us for a live music and slide-show presentation highlighting Duke Ellington’s musical self-portraits and his portraits of people he admired–many of whom were black women. Ellington composed several of these works just prior to Matisse’s visit to Harlem in 1930-31; they could well have been among the works the French artist heard while here. Particularly when portraying black women, how might we compare these two artists’ portraits?
