In 1968 Ann Halprin simultaneously developed two companies, one in San Francisco of all white dancers, and another in Watts of all black dancers. After working separately for weeks the two groups came together to develop a highly controversial and politically groundbreaking performance. In a rehearsal process that was, in the words of Janice Ross 'not so much a dance as a lived experiment' Halprin guided the two groups of dancers into experiences that both elicited and challenged racial stereotypes, creating a space where political and personal anger and despair could be expressed, and where reconciliation could be envisioned. Though it captures only fragments of this process, which included extensive group and partnering processes, utilizing movement, speech, emotional and perceptual exploration, the film goes far in capturing the spirit of the performance"--www.annahalprin.org. 538 DVCAM NTSC. 630 00 Ceremony of us (Choreographic work : Halprin) 655 7 Dance.|2mim 655 7 Television.|2mim 700 1 Halprin, Anna,|edirection. 700 1 Hill, Seth,|edirection. 700 1 Coney, John,|eproduction,|ecamera/lighting. 700 1 Winans, William,|ecamera/lighting. 700 1 Wise, Rick,|ecamera/lighting. 710 2 Studio Watts, School for the Arts, Los Angeles. 710 2 San Francisco Dancers' Workshop. 710 2 Dilexi Foundation. 710 2 KQED-TV (Television station : San Francisco, Calif.) 941 0 PFA 0505-01-13400.
