Living Jazz
Sat Oct 17 · 7:30pm / Sun Oct 18 · 2pm
Boston University's School of Theatre presents a piece of spoken text, voice and movement coordinated by Yo-El Cassell, with images drawn from Seeing Jazz, the Smithsonian anthology. In an abandoned dance hall and jazz club, spirits of the afterlife reconvene to replay vignettes and memories of how their lives moved them, and of how jazz's rhythm, improvisation and call and response ran through those lives.
