Honoring the legacy of Zora Neale Hurston, the groundbreaking writer of ‘Their Eyes Were Watching God’, cultural anthropologist, folklorist, playwright and choreographer.Led by Tanya Birl-Torres of ‘The Zora Project’ (Social Practice Artist-in-Residence at The Shed and Broadway Movement Director & Choreographer), this family-friendly event brings Hurston’s legacy to life through storytelling, movement, and community connection.What to ExpectWe will gather, break bread and listen to some of Hurston’s collected folktales, learn how they work, and craft our own modern day stories. As Zora said, folktales are the “boiled down juice of human living”—everyday wisdom passed down through generations.We will also experience the reimagined choreography of the Buzzard Lope and Crow Dance, powerful movement pieces adapted from Hurston’s lost choreographic works and ‘Their Eyes Were Watching God’. Together we will discover how Zora studied and participated in ritualized dance to preserve Black cultural traditions.This event is free for the entire family! Come and gather with us! No experience necessary, just a curiosity and willingness to connect.This event is presented in collaboration with the Oral History Master of Arts Program at Columbia University, as part of their year-long public programming series on place-based oral history
