A true legend of dance in America, and the world, has joined the Ancestors. For me, this is a sad but powerful time. The iconic Judith Jamison has always been such an inspiration to me…. throughout my own life as a dancer and choreographer, from the earliest days when I first met her in New York at Alvin Ailey’s studios. Her extraordinary artistry in the Ailey masterpiece, “Cry”, from his work “Revelations”, made such an impact on me and spoke to me deeply when I was creating the women’s trio “Mary Don’t You Weep” as part of my own “Spiritual Suite”.
