• Glenda_Dickerson abstract "Glenda Dickerson (February 9, 1945 – January 12, 2012) was an iconic director, folklorist, adaptor, writer, choreographer, actor, black theatre organizer, and educator. She is known throughout the American Theater as a consummate promoter of a "womanist" direction in the theater and her work focused on folklore, myths, black legends, and classical works reinterpreted. She worked in venues including the Biltmore Theatre (Broadway), Circle in the Square (New York City), Lorraine Hansberry Theatre (San Francisco), Ford's Theatre and the Kennedy Center (Washington, D.C.). In 1971, she received an Emmy nomination and in 1972 a Peabody Award.She conceived and/or adapted numerous vehicles for the stage from various dramatic and non-dramatic sources, including the "miracle play": Jesus Christ, Lawd Today; Owen's Song; The Unfinished Song; Rashomn; Torture of Mothers; Jump at the Sun; Aunt Jemima and the Traveling Menstrual Show and Every Step I Take. She conceived and directed Eel Catching in Setauket: A Living Portrait of a Community, an oral history, creative performance project which documented the lives of the African-American Christian Avenue community in Setauket, Long Island. She performed in her one-woman shows, Saffron Persephone Brown: The Flower-storm of a Brown Woman; Spreading Lies; and in the Trojan Women: A Tale of Devastation for Two Voices. She was author of African American Theater: A Cultural Companion. She also completed a 2-disk DVD, "What's Cookin' in the Kitchen? A Planetary Portrait 9/11/01 - 9/11/04," which documented her "Kitchen Prayers" series. Until 2007, Kitchen Prayers Performance Dialogues on 9/11 and global loss were performed annually under the auspices of The Project for Transforming thru Performing: re/placing Black Womanly Images.At the University of Michigan she was Head of the African American Theater Minor and served as Director of the Center for World Performance Studies. Before Michigan, She was head of the Department of Drama and Dance at Spelman College and she taught at Rutgers University both, the New Brunswick and Newark campuses. Professor Dickerson also was an Assistant Professor of Directing in the Department of Theater at Howard University and Chair of the Theater Department at The Duke Ellington School of the Arts (formerly, The School of the Arts at Western).
