Carmen & Geoffrey sun april Screening 7

SUNDAY, APRIL 7, 2013 2:00 PM 4:00 PM In conjunction with the exhibit, Geoffrey & Carmen: A Memoir in Four Movements, we present a special screening of Carmen & Geoffrey. Carmen DeLavallade and Geoffrey Holder, two living legends in the world of American dance, are the subjects of this intimate and revealing documentary. Carmen was the first to achieve notoriety in the early 1950s, as a lead dancer of incomparable beauty and grace with the Lester Horton Dance Theater and Alvin Aileys American Dance Theater. Geoffrey, an elemental force on stage who would find fame not only as a dancer but also as an actor, soda spokesman, and theater director, met Carmen during a production of Truman Capotes House of Flowers in 1954, and proposed to her on sight. They married a year later and have been together ever since. This is a FREE event. For more information or to RSVP, call 773-947-0600 ext. 290. Sponsored by The Chicago Community Trust.
