This series features informal and intimate conversations using archival media to reflect on past performances by Bay Area artists that have left a lasting impact on our performance community. Often, artists and fans find themselves saying, “Sorry I missed your show!” This series aims to revive those memorable performances, capturing their political and artistic significance from a specific era, space, and time.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity for an intimate conversation with Joanna Haigood as she reflects on her seminal work, Invisible Wings.
Invisible Wings (1998)
This powerful site-specific work was created by choreographer Joanna Haigood, artistic director of Zaccho Dance Theatre, during several Jacob’s Pillow residencies in Massachusetts, inspired by the Pillow site’s history as a stop on the Underground Railroad for enslaved people escaping to freedom. Haigood works often involve in-depth research into the background and character of historic sites. Her collaborators on Invisible Wings included composer/arranger Linda Tillery and composer/sound designer Lauren Weinger. Storyteller Diane Ferlatte.
