...*Wow*...
Their description: "The documentary film “A Hymn for
Alvin Ailey” goes behind the scenes of Judith
Jamison’s ‘HYMN’ and gives you a look at Alvin
Ailey’s life from the perspective of those who knew
him best. ‘HYMN’ is a stirring work that features
text performed on stage by Anna Deavere Smith from
interviews she did with the entire Company, along
with Mr. Ailey’s own words."
What a perfect tribute to this legendary, ingenious
soul, whose being and body of work nurtured and
inspired the creative expressions of thousands...
Just wish it was a little longer...

Hard to speak Ailey's name without the legendary Merce
Cunningham, his brilliant predecessor, coming
immediately to mind... ;) I'll have to research how
much, if at all, they ever collaborated; it'd be wild,
if so...like two vastly different, intricate universes
blending at the edges...lol...
Wish I had time/energy to translate Catherine LeGrand's
comments, too bad no subtitles...
