About Echo: Far From Home

Description

Described as an "ambitious undertaking", Judith Jamison's astounding, semi-autobiographical work, Echo: Far From Home, revisits her childhood experiences with dance. In particular, she examines the experiences of a black dancer in the world of classical ballet, paralleling it with the African diaspora through Tom Feelings' paintings from his book Middle Passage.
