<br />Photo Exhibit Inspires Choreographic Masterpiece
<br />With a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, Hult Presents, the presentation arm of the City’s Cultural
<br />Services Division, has launched a major project centering on Ronald K. Brown’s contemporary dance company,
<br />EVIDENCE. The company will perform in Silva Concert Hall on Sunday, October 26 at 2:30 p.m. Besides Hult
<br />Presents, the multi-faceted project involves other community partners,
<br />including DIVA (Downtown Initiative for the Visual Arts), University of Oregon,
<br />Lane Community College and Recreation Services Division. A major focus is
<br />the photo exhibit entitled Charles “Teenie” Harris: Rhapsody in Black and
<br />White. The free exhibit features 31 historic photos taken by Charles Harris
<br />from 1936 to 1975 that capture urban African American life during a time of
<br />significant change. The exhibit will be shown October 14 to November 22 at
<br />DIVA, located at Broadway and Olive streets. Professor Deborah Willis, one of
<br />the nation’s leading historians of African American photography is the exhibit
<br />co-curator (with Ronald K. Brown) and will provide a free public lecture about
<br />the work of Charles Harris on Friday, October 17, at 5:30 p.m. at DIVA. The
<br />photographs will appear again in the public dance performance on October 26,
<br />as Ronald K. Brown and his EVIDENCE dance company incorporate them into Brown’s choreography on stage in a
<br />fascinating and unusual performance. Brown’s dance company will offer master classes in contemporary dance at
<br />the U of O, and a class in dance and music that is open to the public on Friday, October 24 at 3:00 p.m. in the
<br />Gerlinger Annex at the U of O. Brown will also teach a photography workshop for middle school students that will
<br />be coordinated by Recreation Services. The students will be prepared by instructor Julie Rudolph to capture their
<br />lives in a photograph as Harris did, and then interpret those photos with Ronald K. Brown. The entire project
<br />culminates in the October 26 performance at the Hult Center, by Ronald K. Brown’s EVIDENCE. For more
<br />information about the collaboration, contact Carol Philips at 682-2057.
