Behind The Scenes at DARK STAR FROM HARLEM
All photos by Theo Cote
The Dark Star From Harlem: The Spectacular Rise of Josephine Baker begins performances on Thursday, November 21. The musical follows the journey of 19-year-old Josephine Baker, from her arrival in Paris in 1925, as a company member of La Revue Negre, to her rise to stardom in Europe. Josephine is cast as the comic dancer who crosses her eyes and can’t keep up, but before long , her talent as a singer and “exotic” dancer takes her to center stage and the launch of her career. As a young woman in a foreign land, she navigates sudden fame, a new language, racial acceptance in Paris and the violent Jim Crow laws back home in America.

All photos by Carlos Cardona
Stefanie Batten Bland's world premiere of Look Who’s Coming to Dinner opens tonight at La MaMa as part of Crossing the Line Festival. Inspired by the 1967 Stanley Kramer film starring Sydney Poitier, Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, the work pays tribute to those who paved the way toward acceptance in love and life. Set around a transformative dinner setting, seven dance-theatre artists explore access and ritual as they seek a seat at the table.
