                    Honoring choreographer Jean Erdman  
              and her life-long collaboration with mythologist
                                  Joseph Campbell
 
Featuring recreations of Erdman’s classic repertory
and works by contemporary choreographers
with guest artist Christine Dakin performing  Erdman’s
“The Transformations of Medusa”
to celebrate the legacy of dancer/ choreographer/avant-garde theater director Jean Erdman now in her 100th year.  Erdman explored mythic, archetypal themes in dance and theater works, in collaboration with her life-long partner, writer/mythologist Joseph Campbell, forming one of the dance world’s most inspiring artistic relationships. The program features live performance of Erdman’s rarely-seen 1942 solo The Transformations of Medusa, a stage-to-screen adaptation of her 1948 work Hamadryad by Nancy Allison and Paul Allman, selected new work inspired by myth, and panel discussion by distinguished guests (TBA) who participated in Ms. Erdman’s work over six decades.
