This week's edition of UPFRONT/Inside the Entertainment Industry is a salute to the life and legacy of dance icon, Alvin Ailey legend, and Artistic Director Emerita JUDITH JAMISON. The conversation was taped in February of 2019 at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights.
Host Ray Cornelius talked to Ms. Jamison about Ailey's 60th Anniversary plus their new works Lazarus and Members Don't Get Weary. Ray also took her "back down memory lane" to chat about her signature performance Cry and her time on Broadway in Sophisticated Ladies.
You can also watch the conversation below that includes a special segment with the Center's Interim CEO---Brian Tolleson---regarding their love affair with the Ailey dance company.
Judith Jamison passed away earlier this month on Saturday, November 9th, 2024.
