Described as an "ambitious undertaking," Judith Jamison's astounding, semi-autobiographical work revisits her childhood involvement with dance. In particular, she examines the experiences of a Black dancer in the world of classical ballet, drawing parallels with the African diaspora as shown in Tom Feelings' paintings from his book Middle Passage.
