Loving Obama

I was happy to be enlisted as dramaturg for this new conceptual movement play by artist John Ransom Phillips, inspired by Obama's memoir, Dreams From My Father, and presented by ArtPond. It was an interesting form of storytelling, bridging movement with text and music, to explore the psyche of a fatherless young black man who would become president. Choreographer Sidra Bell made her directing debut and Dennis Bell created a rich musical soundscape evoking the different stages of the man's journey of self discovery.
