The 92nd Street Y Harkness Dance Center’s 2021-22 Mainstage Series continues with an evening of performances this season’s Artists in Residence, Baye & Asa and Passion Fruit Dance Company.
Baye & Asa first came to 92Y’s attention as finalists at the inaugural Future Dance Festival in 2021 with their work John 4:20, selected by Martha Graham Dance Company artistic director Janet Eilber. They were subsequently named one of Dance Magazine’s “25 to Watch” for 2022, which noted that “using African forms and hip hop in an expansive view of ‘contemporary’ dance theater, the pair’s choreography avoids falling into any predictable pattern.”
Passion Fruit Dance Company – Tatiana Desardouin, Lauriane Ogay and Mai Lê Hô – sees its mission as promoting the authenticity of street dance and clubbing styles, hip-hop and house cultures and their Black heritage, and exploring different social problems through their dance pieces and artistic practices. Desardouin, the company’s founder, artistic director and choreographer, was selected as one of Dance Magazine’s 2020 “25 to Watch” and was awarded the 2022 Vilcek Prize for Creative Promise in Dance.

Returns for Black History Month
DOWN TO EARTH
Limited Engagement runs February 23 - 27
MPTP Productions Intl. in association with 24 Bond Arts Center present a return engagement of DOWN TO EARTHA, a one woman show written and performed by Dierdra McDowell (2-time AUDELCO Award nominee for Outstanding Solo Performance as Eartha Kitt), and directed by Marishka S. Phillips. In celebration of Black History Month, performances run February 23-27 at Gene Frankel Theatre.
In January 1968 entertainer and activist Eartha Kitt was invited to the White House by Lady Bird Johnson to partake in a women's luncheon to discuss rising crime rates in America. At the luncheon, Eartha stood up and expressed her views that the increase in crime was mostly due to Americas involvement in the Vietnam War. Lady Bird was personally insulted by the comment and shortly after, by order of President Lyndon Johnson, Kitt was blacklisted from work in the United States for 10 years. In one act filled with drama and music, DOWN TO EARTHA recounts Eartha Kitt’s memories of that fateful day and her personal journey to reclaim her own power and freedom.
DOWN TO EARTHA runs February 23 – 27, Wednesday – Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 4pm. Gene Frankel Theatre is located at 24 Bond Street, between Bowery and Lafayette -- accessible from B,D,F,M trains at Broadway/Lafayette or the #6 at Bleecker.

PRESIDENT’S MOTHER
RELEASES EXCLUSIVE CLIP
DOCUMENTARY FILM STARRING PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER, FIRST LADY
ROSALYNN CARTER, LOS ANGELES DODGER LEGEND TOMMY LASORDA,
LONGTIME ABC WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SAM DONALDSON AND
MORE IS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE
Random Media has released an exclusive clip from the documentary film Miss Lillian: More Than a President’s Mother in celebration of Presidents’ Day on Monday, February 21.
Miss Lillian: More Than A President’s Mother, tells the inspiring story of Lillian Carter, matriarch of Plains, Georgia's storied Carter family and mother to Jimmy Carter, the oldest living United States President. The film centers around rare interviews with historical figures of the Carter era, including former First Lady Rosalynn Carter, Los Angeles Dodger legend Tommy Lasorda, longtime ABC White House correspondent Sam Donaldson - and of course her son Jimmy, who at 97, no longer sits for interviews.
In candid moments, President Carter reflects on his remarkable mother, who passed her deeply held humanitarian values on to her children, the eldest of whom would become the 39th President of the United States. The film offers a revealing and intimate study of a pioneering American woman, exploring how her life as a nurse in the rural south shaped her views on race, ultimately impacting a nation through her influence on Jimmy - first as the Governor of Georgia and later as the President during the tumultuous 1970s.
Miss Lillian: More Than A President’s Mother is currently available on iTunes, Prime Video, Google Play, Apple TV, Microsoft, and Vudu.
