Add to Calendar Core Ensemble presents "Ain't I A Woman!" When: March 12, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM Overview In celebration of Women's History Month, WP Presents and the WP Center for Diversity and Inclusion proudly present Core Ensemble's "Ain't I A Woman!" This chamber music theatre work for actress and trio (cello, piano & percussion) celebrates the lives and times of four significant African American women: ex-slave and fiery abolitionist Sojourner Truth, renowned novelist and anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston, exuberant folk artist Clementine Hunter and fervant civil rights worker Fannie Lou Hamer. Text is by Kim Hines. The musical score is drawn from the heartfelt sprituals of the Deep South, the urban exuberance of the Jazz Age and concert music by African American composers including Diane Monroe. This 50-minute program is hosted by the Core Ensemble, with verbal introductions to vignettes from the lives of Sojourner Truth, Zora Neale Hurston, Clementine Hunter and Fanny Lou Hamer. A question-and-answer period with the performers concludes the program. This event is sponsored by the New Jersey Council for the Humanties.
