Sommaire
SPELL #7 : This striking choreopoem is set in St. Louis in a bar frequented by Black artists and musicians. It is another meditation on the irony of being Black in a white world.
 
A PHOTOGRAPH : This work is more of a play than her other choreopoems. It is about a young Black man who is trying to make it as a professional photographer and is surrounded by caricatures of Black people gone wrong. The exception is a girl friend who is a free and sovereign spirit. The young man's confidence is shattered when he is turned down for the grant he has counted on.
 
BOOGIE WOOGIE LANDSCAPES : a choreopoem about one night of dreams and memories from a young, African American woman. A collage of dreamlike memories and poetic editorials, Boogie Woogie Landscapes is a funny, moving, and surprising piece of theatre from one of America’s most incisive poets/playwrights.
