IABD to release a new edition of the
DIRECTORY OF CHOREOGRAPHERS
FOR BLACK DANCE COMPANIES  

  
May 12, 2014

January 10, 1995, Joan Myers Brown, Founder/Artistic Director of PHILADANCO! published the DIRECTORY OF CHOREOGRAPHERS FOR BLACK DANCE COMPANIES. This one-of-a-kind publication was in response to the frequent question for information about "black choreographers who work with black dancers or predominantly black dance companies." Well, it is still necessary 20 years later, to compile this information in a readily digestible form so that it can be made available to anyone who needs it.

This publication will provide, in a concise and comprehensive form, answers to the most frequently asked requests for information about black choreographers and choreography, although you will not find judgments about the quality of any choreographer's work.

Artistic Directors seeking to enrich their repertoires and choreographers pursuing new opportunities to display their work should find the directory helpful. Everyone in the dance community will benefit from having the information it contains at their fingertips, as well.

IABD is soliciting the biographical data appropriate for the directory from Black Choreographers. Please complete the Choreographers' Questionnaire and submit it electronically to info@iabdassociation.org. Information submitted will be reviewed and verified before publication in the directory. A final deadline for publication will be set in October 2014. The directory is scheduled for release in January 2015 at the 27th Annual IABD Conference and Festival in Cleveland, OH.

The publication will be made to available to IABD Members at no cost. Others who may desire the information can pay a nominal fee for an electronic copy of the document.

It is with deepest appreciation that we thank you for your contribution to this very important publication.

With the Creator's Energy, humbly giving thanks...

Denise Saunders Thompson

Chairperson
