1 hr 30 min
Iseman Theater, 1156 Chapel Street
From
star dancer to founder of New Haven’s beloved Bowen-Peters dance school
to black feminist activist to distinguished professor, Angela Bowen has
had many influential identities, and in each one, she has encouraged
all around her— particularly here in New Haven—to reach their fullest
potentials and embrace their true selves. This panel discussion among
individuals who knew and were inspired by Angela honors not only
Angela’s legacy in New Haven and beyond, but also the conviction
threading through her multifaceted journey: self expression at any
price.
