Host: Norah Dale Allen ; guests: Adrienne Hawkins, Amy MacNabb.
Recorded on October 3, 1997. Telecast by Cape Cod Community Television on the series entitled: The Spirit of Dance, a conversation about dance.
Adrienne Hawkins, artistic director of the Boston-based Impulse Dance Company, defines "concert jazz dance" and describes the company's mission, which is to take jazz dance from the commercial to the artistic sphere. With company member Amy MacNabb providing a dancer's viewpoint, she talks about the company and its activities, beginning with its founding by Consuelo Atlas, a former member of the Alvin Ailey company. Hawkins discusses her sources of inspiration, choreographic process, qualities she seeks in dancers, and ways in which she seeks to communicate with the audience. She introduces video excerpts of her works All talk, no action and Deviation is constant, both recorded at the Sixth Greater Hartford Festival of Jazz in Hartford, Conn., in July 1997.
