Center for Jewish Studies presents: HaMapah dance event with Adam McKinney
HaMapah/The Map is a multimedia dance journey that traces the intersections of classically trained dancer Adam McKinney, former member of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre with African American, Native American, and Jewish heritage. HaMapah explores issues of identity, ancestry, and family by weaving together contemporary dance with archival material, personal interviews, Yiddish and American songs, and video set to traditional, contemporary, and classical music. The event is co-sponsored by the Harry & Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center and the Sam & Helen Stahl Center for Jewish Studies. A Year of the Humanities 2014-15 event is on Friday, September 19, from 8:30 p.m. - 10 p.m., at UWM Zelazo Center.
