Celia Ipiotis will dip into the vault of remarkable stories from the EYE ON DANCE Legacy Archive.
The National Arts Club will present the zoom presentation of EYE ON DANCE clips narrated by the archive's creator/producer/host Celia Ipiotis on Thursday, April 28 at 7:30pm.
Dance icons, renegades and under-recognized heroes revel in tales about life as a dancer, dance clubs of the 1930's, gender identity politics, first amendment rights and jazz music's impact on tap with artists like Alvin Ailey, Katherine Dunham, Billy Forsythe, Lourdes Lopez, Millicent Hodson, Frankie Manning, LaVaughn Robinson, Jimmy Slyde, Agnes deMille, Laurie Carlos, Kevin McKenzie, Violette Verdy, Edward Villella, Yvonne Rainer, Joan Myers Brown and so many more.
A major primary source dance archive, EYE ON DANCE episodes intertwine frank conversations with performance footage linking diverse dance forms to larger educational, historical, cultural and political issues.
