Actress Vanessa Bell-Calloway will take on the role of Zora Neale Hurston in a provocative multimedia production written by Gabrielle Pina and directed by Anita Dashiell-Sparks. With live music composed by Ron McCurdy and archival images collected by Rebecca Houston, the performance will illuminate Hurstonâs prose, her life, her distinctive array of friends and foes and her unique view of a jazz-age world.
Through the analysis and dramatization of approximately fifteen letters and selected excerpts from Zora Neale Hurstonâs impressive body of work, Letters from Zora will explore Hurstonâs controversial views on integration, segregation and social justice and will showcase a life that was filled with artistic and literary triumphs as well as abject poverty and self-doubt. Additionally, the letters and corresponding narrative will examine Hurstonâs delicate financial and artistic dance with her patron Charlotte Osgood Mason and her relationships with other notable luminaries such as Richard Wright, Countee Culllen, Alain Locke and Langston Hughes. The piece will also reflect on Hurstonâs fall from grace and her untimely death in 1960. Archival footage will showcase the events, places and icons referenced in many of Hurstonâs letters, and McCurdyâs original score will serve as a live soundtrack, with music performed by students from the USC Thornton School.
Organized by Ron McCurdy (Jazz Studies).
