Ceremony of Us

Ceremony Of Us was an interracial dance encounter between the Studio Watts, an African American arts organization, and the San Francisco Dancer's Workshop, Anna Halprin's dance company. The performance took place at the Mark Taper Forum, a venue of the Los Angeles Music Center, on February 27, 1969. Halprin biographer Janice Ross notes that the experience led her to question the racial make up of her dance company and to develop, through the National Endowment For the Arts, a multi-ethnic dance education program titled Reach Out.
