Founder of the Philadelphia Dance Company (PHILADANCO) and the Philadelphia School of Dance Arts, Joan Myers Brown’s personal and professional histories reflect the hardships as well as the advances of African Americans in the artistic and social developments of the twentieth century and into the new millennium. Dixon Gottschild uses Brown’s career as the fulcrum to leverage an exploration of the connection between performance, society, and race, beginning with Brown’s predecessors in the 1920s and a concert dance tradition that had no previous voice to tell its story from the inside out. Brown’s background and richly contoured biography are object lessons in survival—a true American narrative.
