As I Remember It is an intimate portrait of the legendary artist Carmen de Lavallade told through dance, film and her personal writings. Created by Ms. de Lavallade in collaboration with director Joe Grifasi and co-writer/dramaturg Talvin Wilks, this hour-long original work traces a career that spans over seven decades and reflects on what is remembered and what is forgotten. Just as memories of our own lives are often colored by age and perspective, this dance/theater work will be shaped by Ms. de Lavallade’s cognitive and muscular memories of her personal history.

The video and set design create a sense of time and place – from her childhood days playing in the empty lots of 1930s Los Angeles to performing on the world’s grand stages.

As I Remember It features Ms. de Lavallade performing with projections of her younger self as well as with films featuring some of her significant collaborators. Stories of her years in California dancing with Lester Horton, in New York with Alvin Ailey, and in Paris with Josephine Baker; her work in film; and her time spent as a member of the Yale Repertory Theatre frame the performance.

A post-show discussion will follow Friday’s performance with Ms. Carmen de Lavallade, director Joe Grifasi, and co-writer/dramaturg Talvin Wilks.
